Does it have a battery backup?

hi, no, there's no battery backup. on the underside of the radio is a short cord with a jack on the end that will plug into your ipod/mp3 player or iphone or ipad so you can play music using the radio's speaker. the radio is powered by a small transformer that's plugged directly into the wall and from it is a cord that plugs into the back of the radio. on top of the radio is a dock for playing and simultaneously charging your mp3 player/ipod/iphone. a decent, basic, small radio.

No it does not. I guess I have never even noticed because i use my Iphone for my alarm. It is a very nice radio/charger, but the instructions for using it were hard to figure out.

No battery backup is included in this package. Check the website to see if you can purchase one separately.

Yes it has keys for backup in case your battery would fail. Believe it actually came with two keys.

Yes, once the unit has been plugged in and charged, it has a back-up battery that will preserve time and settings during intermittent power outages.

I think it has battery backup. I don't remember, as the unit is with my mom at her assisted living facility.

I don't think it has one. I thought it is powered by the iPhone. I could be wrong, but battery life has not been an issue in any case.

Nope. It comes with a spare battery for when you have to replace it. The screws in the back are very tiny!

Gee I bought it awhile ago now and it plugs into an outlet, but I checked the description on Amazon and it doesn't say there's a backup battery. There is a little red light though, so if it were to turn off, you'd know it is not working.

Yes it does. Although I have never run out of power on a job, I bought a second battery

Hi, yes it does. Has an external charger and it takes about 2 hrs to charge the battery.

Hi Mike, unfortunately there is not a battery backup as the solar panel is matched in charging size to a single battery.

No, it does not have a battery backup since it is a surge suppressor. I have used these Tripp Lite devices for many years in my job as an electronic technician and have never known one to fail. A device with a battery backup would be an Uninterruptible Power Supply, which is another good choice to protect your equipment, but somewhat more expensive.

Yes it does, I have had it for 4 months now and I never turn it off and yet I am still on the same battery.
