Can I user a battery rather than the included AC adapter?

I'm no electronics expert but I would think that if you had a battery that could provide the right voltage and current that it wouldn't be an issue. You are also going to need the right DC connector plug. Maybe you want to consult with someone in the electronics field. The transformer that comes with the unit is a 9VDC 1500ma Class 2 transformer. Model #CY48-0901500. Good Luck.

I would say no! It is like a laptop, some programs will not run at top performance while on battery. If you cannot get AC just ride without the program and read out features.

Yes. MINE CAME WITH AN AC PLUG-IN ADAPTER. I find using batteries to be much easier.

You can but it ruins the battery. The battery will become dependent on the constant charge and will weaken.

No there is not. You can run it on battery or go to an electronic store and pick up a universal adapter.

yes you can use the 8 AA batteries that you can pick up from Radio Shack is called the battery holder or if you want to plug in the wall you can just ask them for a 12 volt power supply

You sure can.It's not the battery that you plug the charger into, but rather the device. Only thing I found was that it took a little longer to charge it... but I expected that since it's a much bigger battery.You'll love it once you get it... I'm getting 4 days of heavy heavy usage on a single charge, and I don't let it get down below 20% :)

Uses the standard 6v square battery - or you can use the adapter that holds 4 D cells

I do not think so. The USB adapter is for transferring data only. Only DC battery. no 110 AC input.

I don't have the 110 volt wall plug adaptor, I just use a standard 9v battery.

Not unless you want to. You can charge this battery by plugging it into an outlet.

Yes you can, only if your ac adapter is powered by your car battery...Otherwise it"s imposible.

mine is just batteries...i'm sure there is an ac adapter that is compatible with this...

Yes, you need to purchase the adapter or a 9 volt battery. I recommend the adapter.

Yes Absolutely. It plugs in just like the regular battery without the need for an adapter.

Actually, since the unit works off an AC adaptor it should not be difficult to buy a rechargeable battery to plug in in place of the AC adaptor. EZ John

You can use it both with batteries or pluged into a 9v power source. But there's no AC adapter included !!!

You could, but id does run an LED display and a fan. So it will drain you battery eventually without some kind of charger on it.
