Yes it can run on batteries. 8 DD batteries to be exact. And the power plug is included.

Yes, you can. However, it does not work on batteries. It is powered through the USB cable or an A/C power cord sold separately. Though, someone on here said it runs on two AA batteries. I just haven't noticed a place to put batterie because that is not how I use it.

Either. It can use batteries or use the ac adapter. We always use it plugged in but it does have battery option.

The A/C unit can only operate on a 220 volt power source. A 110 volt is not an option.

it comes with a plastic battery pack that holds (8) AA batteries (batteries not included.. ) once the batteries are installed in the pack, the pack screws into the back of the amp.... Great little amp on A/C.. I have not used it on battery power though..

Yes, this unit runs on 4 AA batteries as well as AC 110 V house current. It works well with an iPod as well as radio features.

It comes with the standard a/c plug in but it has a disconnect on the cord where it can be plugged into a d/c for battery operation. The d/c kit is sold separately

It uses 6 AA batteries, happen to have the user guide handy. I have only used the AC power adapter and never tried using the unit with batteries yet.

It runs on 4x AAA batteries, no power cord. If you'd like to connect to a computer, you'll need the cord. Though you don't really need to connect to a computer unless you'd like to write programs on a computer. The product also includes a manual which may be helpful.

No, it uses A/C and/or 4 AA batteries so you can take it with you on picnics or the beach or just move it room to room without having to use the A/C plug in.

No. I takes 6 C-cell batteries. There is an optional solar-cell power source sold separately. AFAIK this cannot run off and A/C adapter.

It needs both, you can run it for a short time on just batteries but some features will be missing. The batteries are needed to maintain operation when power fails. You should always have AC power and batteries.

it is battery operated. as I recall it takes 2 "C" batteries. I have not used it long enough to determine battery life. I believe there is an AC adaptor port as well.

The power source is 3 AA batteries. No AC plug. Don't bother buying it, tho - it was a piece of garbage. not enough air flow to actually play. we used it once and were done.

It is AC only. It just has a basic power cord. I really do not know why they call it portable, since it does not take batteries or charge with internal battery.

It takes 3 AA batteries but you can also use an AC adapter. It doesn't come with one but it gives you the specifics of what kind to buy in the instructions.

Hi Kristen,AC only... that would be nice if it took batteries for when the power goes out...
