Can this amp be run on batteries? Doesn't look like it but checking. Suggestions for a good portable?

I'm really happy with it. It has quite a punch and the volume for an 8" speaker is really hot. The amp has numerous effects as well as the software that is available to download from Fender. I have mine hooked up to my laptop and can make it sound like almost every fender amp made. The software also gives you additional effects "pedals." I recommend getting the foot switch. If you're looking for a really versatile portable amp, I recommend it.

It won't work with batteries. It has to plug in. It is fairly portable, but it doesn't seem to be what you are looking for. I believe Vox makes a practice amp that runs on batteries as well as Danelectro. Hope this helps.

No cannot be run on batteries. Yes, small enough I consider a good portable.

I'm sorry Linda L. but the 2 I have purchased are battery operated.they work great but the battery life 4 triple aaa batteries last maybe 5 to 6 hours depnding on the battery brand. You will have to look at other jensen portable speakers,don't forget the item I bought works fine and the sound is excellent but only cost $20 . That is why it is a battery operated. rich s.

This is a sweet little amp and should perform perfectly. You can even run it for many hours on batteries so if you are out in a garden, away from an electrical outlet, it will work great. Small enough to disguise with a few baskets of flowers around it. One of my favorite purchases.

I only use batteries, but the marking would appear to be so. AS far as the other answer: Sorry 'bout that. It is, after all, just a "rehearsal amp", as the seller said, not a full-blown concert amp. I use it for a harmonica amp at a nursing home; it works just fine for me!!! I can't haul around anything bigger.

It is portable meaning you can take it anywhere and it will fill a yard with music at an outside party but it does need to be plugged into an 110v outlet or generator to work. There is no battery. I love how powerful and rich sounding it is tho. When outside I just run an extension cord into the hone.

You can also get a SLA battery and plug it into the 12v input jack on the back. A 12v 7ah should give plenty of runtime. That's really the only way to go for outdoor use, in my opinion. I've powered all my portables this way for years. D cells get expensive fast and rechargeable D's don't last long in powerful systems. (as little as 2 or 3 hours in one of mine)

The Amp itself uses batteries (included) although you can purchase an adapter separately. *We use perhaps 30 of these for our call center and have had no problems using only batteries.

Depends on the size of the linear amp and how much current it uses. Should use battery.

I run it on the battery. The instructions that came with it said it is better to run off battery rather than run on the power adapter, although that does work too. Just used it in a small gig today and it worked great on the battery.

Yes you must put the cord in the amp. Don't leave the cord plugged in when you're done. This will drain the battery. Good Luck.

It only works with 2 AA batteries, however, this radio is far from power hungry. I have had the radio for several months using it on occasion for at least an hour at t time and i am still onthe first set of alkaline batteries. You could use rechargeables and I suppose you could hook up a power supply connecting to the internal spring contacts with aligator clips but Hey! this is a portable radio!Not a ton of bass but surprisingly good fidelity and great stereo separation. Even played loudly the batteries will last a long time.

Yes. I put rechargeable batteries in mine and can just plug it in to recharge or to take power from the outlet. It's a nice little amp. The sound isn't as rich as even my 25 watt Crate practice amp, it's very portable and packed with features.

Hello out there in radio land! No this is not a power mic and needs no batteries. It is a good sounding mic. Good luck

it comes with a plastic battery pack that holds (8) AA batteries (batteries not included.. ) once the batteries are installed in the pack, the pack screws into the back of the amp.... Great little amp on A/C.. I have not used it on battery power though..

Yes any amp. You can without a battery without amp but must have battery with amp... It's a nice guitar.

Yes, but it's impractical. You'll need to get a power inverter, plug it into the cigarette lighter, and your car needs to be running. You're better off just using NiMH batteries and having two sets of them. This amp will run a LONG time on a set of batteries though. Some people have reported getting as much as 20 hours. -TJ

mine did not need a battery. Not all foot-switches are wired the same way so make sure its compatible with your amp.
