Can it be battery-powered? If so, how long do you have to recharge the batter if it is on all the time?

Not that i have found. I had to install a plug outlet on my ceiling in order for it to work.

NO battery, Wi-Fi connection needs power that a battery cannot supply [not for long any how ...]

It is not battery operated. I believed it is powered by the USB that connects it to the computer.

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. :) )

It is not battery powered. It is plugged in. I bought around Christmas and I have had no problems with it.

No. If I remember correctly, it runs on either AA or AAA batteries. The only way it is "rechargeable" is if you have rechargeable batteries and recharge those

No, it is only battery powered. Not sure why anyone would really need that capability, provided you can plan ahead an hour or so to charge a depleted battery, if that is ever the case.

No it is not powered by battery. The device has an AC adapter and has to be plug into an outlet in order to operate.

Unit is strictly battery powered. It uses size AA batteries. For as much as I use mine, I judge the battery life to be pretty darned good.

Yes, but that's not recommended for regular use. The rechargeable battery is built in to the unit, so it's "always" on battery.

No. It is battery powered. You also have to snap it into a wall mountable base plate to activate the battery. All parts furnished. Took me 5 minutes to put it on the wall.

Hi Perry, It is not battery powered. It has a 110v-12v power supply with a cord that is 4 feet in length.

No, it's battery powered...3 double A's. Mine is still using the same batteries I put in it originally, well over a year ago.

To answer your question, yes, it can run solely on battery power for at least a handful of hours if it's completely charged prior to use. The company recommends a full 24-hour charge before using it for a prolonged period of time, whether it's plugged in or not. If you're just using it for an hour or two, it's fine to keep unplugged, but any longer than that, and I'd say plug it in.
