Is this truly a battery operated TV? If so, what voltage and how big a battery for how many minutes/hours?

I'm surprised someone would think this medium size TV could be battery operated. I have it plugged in and no battery operation. I have a 7" TV that is battery operated - I think that is the typical size for such operation.

Scott....I'm not a TV techy, but mine is plugged in just like every other TV I ever had, so don't know answer to your question.

It has the 12 volt capability. Mounted in our RV. Everything runs off of 2, deep cycle car style batteries including all of the lights, pumps, radio etc. the tv itself is not "battery operated"

Three hours according to the website. http://www.usa.philips.com/c-p/PT902_37/portable-tv/overviewI have not tested the battery life myself so I can't give you answer. Maybe the guy meant 1-1/2 hrs per charge for him?

I don't know. You would be better off with separate batterys that way the TV won't drag down the came ria battery. I have the Sony extra long life. 6 to 8 hrs.of use age. It's great.

Yes, the ST-09B runs on a battery. It is built-in, not the AA or C or D cells some earlier portable TVs use. I haven't had to remove it, but the TV has a hatch on the back and I suppose you could purchase a second pack from the manufacturer or Batteries Plus for longer than say 3 hours use. It also can run on its' AC adapter.

The length of the charge depends on how much you use it. If you use it continually, then I don't think it will last very long. I only use it when I watch TV, so my charge usually lasts about 3 or 4 hours at most. But, it doesn't take all that long to recharge it. I don't know what the input voltage is, but I would guess it is 110/120 volts.

every battery will convert the 12v to 1000w. but not for very long. the more batteries you have the more power you can store and convert throu the invertor. to give you and idea of the amount of battieries you need, i have two batteries and i can run my tv for 5 hr. the tv. is using under 400watts. if you wanted to run something that uses 1000w per hr. i would start with at least 4. an easy way to understand this is. if you turned on 10 one hundered w. light bulbs, that would be the most power your invertor could power. the longer you want to run the light bulbs the more batteries you would need. every battery will convert the 12v to 1000w. but not for very long. the more batteries you have the more power you can store and convert throu the invertor. to give you and idea of the amount of battieries you need, i have two batteries and i can run my tv for 5 hr. the tv. is using under 400watts. if you wanted to run something that uses 1000w per hr. i would start with at least 4. an easy way to understand this is. if you turned on 10 one hundered w. light bulbs, that would be the most power your invertor could power. the longer you want to run the light bulbs the more batteries you would... » Read More every battery will convert the 12v to 1000w. but not for very long. the more batteries you have the more power you can store and convert throu the invertor. to give you and idea of the amount of battieries you need, i have two batteries and i can run my tv for 5 hr. the tv. is using under 400watts. if you wanted to run something that uses 1000w per hr. i would start with at least 4. an easy way to understand this is. if you turned on 10 one hundered w. light bulbs, that would be the most power your invertor could power. the longer you want to run the light bulbs the more batteries you would need. « Show Less

I plan to use this tv in my conversion van to replace the crt original tv. I am having it installed by Phase 4 stereo, they will use an invertor that costs $50 to change the power for use by car battery (we use a deep cycle auxillary when parked)S.P. Norman

Get an inexpensive UPS and let it charge the battery from it's 120v outlet. The larger batteries in the UPS should allow recharging several if not 10 times. Also don't leave the tv on all the time.

The battery in this (and others that are a similar price) is rated "18 amp-hour" hinting it can give you 1 amp for 18 hours, or 2 amps for 9 hours, etc. For running something needing 120V power off the inverter, if the TV or laptop needed 1 amp at 120V the inverter would pull 10 amps at 12V making the battery last under 2 hours. If the TV only needs 1/2 amp it may last ~3 hours, so it depends on what the TV needs to run (where measuring your TVs power draw with a meter like the "Kill-a-watt" may be the only way to know). If you find it only lasts 1 hour and you wanted it to last 3, then you could get another battery rated 35 amp-hour, connect it up with the jumper cables and they will "share" the load making it last longer.

It comes with USB to Power plug. Requires a 5V USB transformer or source. Many TVs have a USB port that will power the unit. No batteries are in the unit or supplied.

Great question and also note that this TV has a 12 ms response time panel. That's what I read somewhere.

I don't recall. TV lasted roughly 4 months and then died. Wouldn't suggest.

No, this is not battery operated, it does come with a wall plug. The cord is a decent length too.

I've had my tv for over 3 years and still love it. I don't use it often any more, but the battery will still last for about 1.5 - 2 hrs.

It does not have a battery. It is powered by a micro USB to standard USB cable (included) that is plugged into your TV (if equipped with a standard USB) or to a power adapter that you must purchase separately.

This tv goes to a screen saver after so many minutes so I have experienced no such problems. One can also set the tv to shut off after a certain amount if inactivity. I love this tv!

I bought one of these a few months back, just for an emergency battery TV.I doubt the warranty is no more than a year or so but the odds of it failingin that time are very low. The price is almost unbeatable............go for it ! Terry Smith / Nashville , Tennessee
