can this run on battery? without a power cord?

Absolutely, if you wire up the appropriate 12V battery with the current capacity you need for the target runtime. It would be a relatively trivial hack to do if you want to, but is it designed to do so? No.

Yes, there are no batteries - it only runs on electricity - and it has an on/off switch, so it will run as long as you leave it on (and as long as you have power. :) )

You can use it while cord plugged in. Its not designed to have the battery removed by regular consumers. But it is possible if you have the proper tools and the battery.

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.

My unit is a plug in, does not run on batteries. The description of portable may be that the unit is lightweight therefore can be used anywhere a plug is available.

Yes, but I use the battery alone without the plug in power. My shop is off grid so it is nice that I don't need to plug it in.

Yes it does, runs on ac or batteries. Cord un-plugs from radio, but does not have room to store it.

It is supposed to be able to work from battery power, so that you can hang it anywhere without a power cord. But mine arrived without the battery option at all. When I questioned this, they said that the battery powered version was not being produced anymore, and they refunded my money without making me return the item.

Mine just runs on the battery-- I don't have a power cord. It spins and reflects colored lights.

No battery required. It uses power source and you need to have a long power cord of your own.

Nope, unfortunately, you can't just plug it in and run off the cord alone. It has to sit there and charge first or else it'll only be on for a few seconds before dying again, which is a significant design flaw.

I never run it on batteries, mine is plugged in at all times. The supplied power supply is 5 Volts at 100 mili-Amps. I suppose you could power it from a USB power supply provided you could connect with the correct connector.

It runs on 110v AC - plugs into a normal wall outlet. I don't see any way to run it without a source of 110V AC.

No, this item is not able to be used without the power plug for now. But we will release one with a battery power supply in the near future. Thank you for your kind attention.
