How does this vest stay powered? Does it need triple A batteries or do you plug it into an outlet the night before your morning run?

It takes AAA batteries. The lights change to solid red when the batteries are running low so you know to replace them before it leaves you running in the dark. I love this vest!

If you use it in the woods for scouting then you want a battery unless you there's a outlet and you've a generator. So economically its 4 batteries.

I'm on the lighter side and I run here and there on it... It last a while... I charge about once a week and if I'm not riding it... It keeps the charge. I love mine!

i dont take it off my battery ,i run a 1200 watt inverter in a 3/4 inch box with a lid which has a cut out for out lets with a dome light cig lighter and alarm with toggle switch out side has a poly rope rated for 500 pounds rolled up handles on each end off box, i run a small compressor with a 90 led watt bulb plus my 32 inch led tv and a 300 watt heater and lap top.i dont run it all day its my er travel pack. i can run it for a week full charge on my 12 volt battery charge time may be a full week for a low battery, i use a marine battery and 150 amp fuse hook up just in case. the main thing is the solar panel facing direction and elevation direction . my plan is to go off grid in next few years.leave it hooked up and leave it alone.. this is all new to me but i must say what i done works for me, good luck out there ..i own a solar book and read that it dont pay to go 100 percent off grid at my age but if your young start now if thats your dream.

Definitely worth it. I trained for a marathon running at 4 in the morning and had not ran out of batteries yet.

It takes two AA batteries, but they wont last two hours. It does not blow that much air and it is impossible to securely attach it to a stroller or really anything. I will sell you mine or just give it to you if you pay shipping. Its junk, dont buy.

It uses a single rechargeable 300mAh button cell, Varta CP300H. I have two of those emergency lights plugged in 24/7 for the last 5 years. They are still working fine, so I see no need to replace the batteries. But if you really want to, you can search for "Varta CP300H" and buy it on Amazon.

It is only battery powered. 4 AA batteries. We have 2 of them. They are loud. We like them. We had them hanging on walls for 3 months now and the batteries are still strong. We only turn them on/off when we leave home. WE are happy with our purchase

This question cannot be answered because it all depend upon what type/brand of battery you use and how you use the device. My recommendation is to use brand name batteries such as Duracell Ultra and not keep the device turned on until you are ready to head back and keeping an extra set of batteries handy could be a life saver. Bear in mind that this device shouldn't be a heavy power consumption device anyway.

I believe Goal Zero recommends to keep it plugged in or to at least pull it out and charge it monthly if not in use to keep it topped off. I would keep it indoors too instead of a garage as the temp can affect battery life as well. I have a bunch of Goal Zero Yeti 1250, 400 and extreme 350 and keep them indoors, charged regularly and have had no problems for years with them.

Good feature because it's always ready to go. The draw on the battery is negligible. I've been carrying mine for three years in a vest pocket everyday. Works every time. Don't worry about it.

Yes, I run mine most of time without batteries, but have used over 24 hours with one on battery other plugged in. Uses 3 AAA batteries each unit.

I carried it in my jacket or vest pocket pretty much all the time. In jeans it will be a bit much but entirely possible if you are in a situation where you know you will need a reserve of power. My daughter asked to have it & I purchased the 16,000 mah unit which is not much larger & has bottomless power reserve for multiple charges even on several devices or several days away from the grid. Both are really good products...you'll be pleased.

It runs on USB power or three AAA batteries. There are two cords: one that connects to the headphone outlet for audio, and one that connects to the usb outlet for power.

No batteries. It's powered from a wall socket (120 VAC). Actually the whole thing is a plug just like a USB charger of a cell. It does not have a power cable. So, if you plan to have it in the stereo table facing towards the listeners, to improve line of sight, you´ll need an extension cord. In my case, I'm having a hard time finding a black cord, so that it blends with the rest...

I just plug it into the wall outlet. Haven't used batteries because I hate paying for them. The unit is quite light though and has a great handle if you need to transport it.
