The mattress has a built-in 120 volt pump to inflate the mattress so the normal inflation process involves plugging it into a 120 volt outlet. However, I'm going to be using it this weekend at a site with no electricity. I will be using a Coleman battery powered (4 D batteries) pump to inflate it. It takes 10 minutes to inflate with the Coleman pump. However, the mattress does not get as firm with the Coleman pump as it does with the built-in pump. There is a 5/8" opening in the middle of the control knob on the mattress in which an external pump can be connected. The Coleman pump calls it a "Boston Adapter". So any external pump with a 5/8" outside diameter connector can be used to inflate the mattress.

This Aerrobed Classic Inflatable mattress comes with an excellent plug-in electric pump. Howeverif you are taking it some place where there is no electricity, you will need adaptors to use it with with your battery operated pump. These come with the Aerobed so don't forget to bring them along.

Yes, but not this version. Look for the "Wenzel Stow 'n Go Twin Airbed with Integrated Pump." In my opinion though, the built-in manual pump for this mattress works great, and you don't need to worry about batteries.

Buy the Smart Air Beds rechargeable pump...battery pumps wear down quickly and eat batteries like there is no tomorrow. http://www.amazon.com/Smart-Air-Beds-Rechargable-Inflatables/dp/B004X63VBC/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1412054303&sr=8-4&keywords=smart+air+beds+pump

Yes absolutely. You plug it in, flip the on switch and then inflate it to the firmness of your choice. If it's too firm, you can flip another switch and just let out a little air. This is a great air mattress.

I suspect you could but I used a small power air pump...mostly because I had to inflate 11 of them. Might take a bit of strength and time with bike pump. Check for inexpensive electric air pump.

Yes, if you have a cone adapter, but you won't need it. Just inflate slowly by mouth, takes 10 min

My bed came with a pump that does need to be plugged into an electrical outlet. I don't know if there is an option for one that is battery operated. The bed inflated beautifully, is very comfortable, and deflated easily and we folded it and put it in it's carrying bag. I am very pleased.

It does require electricity to turn on the pump. There is no option to inflate it manually. If you have a car ac inverter you can plug the bed into the outlet. All you need is an extension cord. It blows up in just under two mins.

I used an air mattress pump I already had because it inflates really fast. It worked on this and blew it up in less than a minute. Pretty much any standard pump should work.

Yes, the pump is built into the mattress and uses a regular 110v outlet, no batteries.

If you use an electric inflator for air mattresses it will only inflate so far. Those types of inflators don't have enough force. The instructions say not to use a commercial air system such as an air compressor because they are too strong. According to the instructions one should use a foot or hand operated, manual pump to completly inflate the ball. I used an air mattress pump to the point it stopped adding additional air and then completed the process with a $3.00 foot pump. It worked beautifully and completely filled the bladder to the outer cover. Hope this helps. Our youth love it!!!
