Hi, the product details say that you need 4d batteries, but the review claim that you can plug it in. Can someone confirm if it can be plugged in?

YES it takes a cord OR batteries. However the pics I'm seeing is a pink one, we don't have the pink one we have a blue one with circles. But I would assume they are the same. The cord however is not very long so it needs to be placed near the plug.

Yes, it has two options. One, it comes with a AC adapter plug. The second option is using batteries without the adapter.

You can plug it in and you have the option to use batteries. I had mine for almost a year and never put a battery in it.

Yes 4 d cell but they hardly ever need replaced if you don't use the fan or speakers. Use the fan and speakers and it will eat batteries in a hurry. Get an adapter if you plan to use those.

Yes, it does need to be plugged in at all times, however, lukas sell a batery pack that can keep your camera running for 10 hours, you can use your 12v in your car or hardwire which is pretty simple anyone can do it, I have to say that my lukas 7900 is the best gadget I have in my car, no doubt about that, it has awesome image, gps, very durable, I left in the rain and still works, no regrets... good luck.

I popped one into my 6D and it appeared to work fine. The battery screen also reported the battery percentage and shots taken correctly. I have the most recent firmware, which is 1.1.4.

Short answer: yes, it has to be plugged in always. There are no rechargeable or standard batteries in this device. This is seems not to be intended to be carried around. It should stay in the shelf or on the table. Hope this helps. cv

You *can* keep it plugged in, but it's not good for the battery. It's better to charge it, then let it run on battery. It warns you about 9 days before the battery goes (when you go to take your temp in the morning, you get a "BA09"... the next day "BA08" etc. But it still functions on those days. I think I charge mine overnight about once a month? So, you COULD leave it plugged in, and it would still function, but my understanding is that you'll reduce the longevity of the machine. (When you need to rely on the battery, the battery life might be compromised.)

It's battery operated, not by electrical outlet. I bought it as a gift for a friend so I don't really remember what size battery, but I think it was 2 D cells.

Yes it uses batteries or you can plug it in (if you get all that come with it.) see the other reviews. I was apparently lucky to get both lol

No. You have to insert batteries and there's no place to plug in. I don't know if they make rechargeable batteries in that type.

The motors and obviously the GPS electronics work on DC electricity, so you should be able to run it with either batteries or AC adapter (wall outlet). Mine didn't come with a battery pack holder. It came with a car plug, and I had to order the AC adapter for the wall outlet. I built a battery pack for a smaller Meade 4.5" telescope, from components bought in Radio Shack. I suspect you could do the same for this one, but I have not done so yet.

I did not use batteries, but he instruction book says that four size "C" alkaline batteries are required. Hope this helps.

No. You plug it in. It's pretty powerful, so batteries would run out too quickly. Also make sure you wear the goggles!:)

Yes it works plugged in. I have never picked it up and found the battery dead. While using, if the battery needs charging, a red light comes on to indicate it needs charging. So when I am done using it, I plug it in. I have not yet had it die while using. Good battery life.

Yes, I have 2 4D batteries. I also have a Guest battery selector. I can charge either battery or both.

Yes, but you have to purchase that separately. I would recommend it. It eats the four D batteries surprisingly quickly.
