No. It is electric. Really nice looking, good sounding radio. I love the retro style.

No, it actually has an electrical cord. You know it might have an area for batteries, but I never thought to look.

No, this requires batteries. There is no option to run off electricity. It is still pretty good though. I have had it since christmas, probably is used 15-20 minutes every day, and still have not had to change the batteries.

No, this is the battery operated model. It comes with 3 "AA" batteries. Hope this helps.

no, it doesn't. It runs off 2 AAA batteries. Supposed to last 12 to 18 months.

No, it doesn't run on battery. It gets its power from your PC when you plug in the USB connection.

No, it's battery operated and I have to say I wish it did. The lights are very dim and the batteries burn out quite quickly.

Yes it can run on batteries. 8 DD batteries to be exact. And the power plug is included.

No, it only runs on battery. The battery lasts a month or more depending on use, so not a big deal.

Yes it does, and mine takes batteries as well, although I have never tried using batteries in 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

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

Sorry the purchase was a donation. I am unsure if it runs on batteries as well.

No! It uses batteries. And a lot of them too. The batteries go dead very quick!
