Description states that it comes with one standard battery but other users state it requires a power adapter. Can it truly be battery powered?

It does not come with a battery and I do not see where it is battery powered. I just read the instructions and looked at the Component and no battery compartment was found. I hope this helps

Ours is powered by adapter. I do not remember seeing a battery compartment or directions advising us of that options. It is behind our mounted tv or I would look to confirm.

Mine came with a AC power adapter. I plugged it into my power strip and it worked fine

Mine also came with a power adapter. The adapter is pretty small in a small box so be careful not to lose it.

There is a hole on the side of the machine labeled DC6V that looks like it will accept a power adapter. We have only used batteries so far, and the machine works well.

It does not have a battery, it has a 100-240v adapter for standard electrical outlet.

Yes, it comes with a AC-adapter to a power outlet. No, it is not battery powered.

I ordered mine from Musician's Friend awhile back and it did not come with the power (AC) adapter. You can power it up with batteries and it works great, but if you plan to use it for an extended period I would recommend getting the power supply. Mine did not come with the unit and as far as I know it is still not included when you purchase. I ended up buying the recommended adapter just to avoid getting something that wouldn't work correctly but a lot of people found cheaper adapters that apparently worked just fine.

***This package only includes 1 battery*** I purchased the unit expecting 2 batteries and was disappointed to only find 1, in the package. Amazon issued a credit of $20 for the inaccurate description. I have no idea what non-standard means.

No, mine did not come with power supply. You have to buy one to be able to work. They need to clarify this in the description.

The one I bought has a power cord, not a battery pack. Sorry I couldn't help.

Since it uses regular batteries, it only comes with a power cord that is 12V. It has a 'charge' port, so if using chargeable batteries, you would need to get a charger cord.

No you have to use the power adapter supplied. Unless you rigged up a 12 volt DC battery near it.

The company where I bought mine sold the power adapter as an accessory. However, I rarely have to replace batteries, and I use the My Weigh almost daily.

I am not aware of this unit offering an optional AC adapter...Mine came with batteries only and battery power is the only way to make it work...

It comes with a 12V adaptor that plugs into a 120V standard plug. It isn't a bus powered device.

Includes a "standard" power adapter as with laptops. Purchased and used mine in USA (110V). Now using it in SE Asia (240V).

Weird, I am sure I have heard of others that did get a bigger battery for it, though I only need the power adapter since this is for our second home anyway. Regardless, thanks for the heads-up!

Nope. It's battery powered only. You have to modify its scheme if you want to power it up with an ac adapter.
