Has anyone tried an AC adapter when the amp won't work with batteries? Just wondering if that would make a difference before buying one.

No, but in the 5 years of using a pig nose I have never had a problem with batteries

You can use it both with batteries or pluged into a 9v power source. But there's no AC adapter included !!!

Yes, you may use rechargeable batteries, they will not recharge using the adapter

Just received mine and it came with a AC adapter that fits my outlet into the converter. I thought that it was non standard battery powered so this should be a plus. Now to find out if it actually works.

I'm not sure if an ac adapter is available. It is intended to work with batteries. Two double A's last a long time with LED. An ac cable would probably be awkward.

Can use the A/C adapter instead of batteries. Have not tried to power it with just the USB, but it might work.

When we purchased ours it came with an AC power adapter. I know Radio Shack carries adapters that have variable voltage, perhaps they or a store similar to them could help you in selecting one.

I have used it w/batteries and loved it I haven't tried it w/the adaptor sorry.

Radio Shack--for about $30. They claim that it will work. Enercell 12V/1500mA AC Adapter. I need one also. Now! The cost is half the cost of my speakers and I am bedridden. I need it morning after tomorrow. Pissed.

There is no AC adapter. It's battery operated by D batteries. I only activate it when I'm going to be away for one night or more (about once a week) but I'm still on the original battery for 6 months now.

One of the versions does come with AC adapter. There is an other version that operates on battery only.

The Amp itself uses batteries (included) although you can purchase an adapter separately. *We use perhaps 30 of these for our call center and have had no problems using only batteries.

The Mighty Bright 54810 Hammerhead DEFINITELY will take the AC Adapter. As stated in another review, there is a small "hole-shaped" outlet on the back of the clip that accommodates the adapter. So, yes, it works both on batteries, or with an adapter.

Yes, I have seen AA battery adapters . I have been thinking about getting one too , around 14.00 dollars and take 6 AA batterys. I have also recharged mine with a inverter on my solar panel.

The adapter I have is AC powered and not battery operated. I don't understand the question: "without AC adapter..." and "rather than battery operated." If it is not powered by AC or a battery, how is it supposed to be powered. This unit plugs into an earphone receptacle on the computer. These ports don't supply power like a USB port does. I don't think my answer helps much.
