How does this have to be powered? Can you use batteries?

It comes with a its own power supply that must be plugged in. While it would be possible to power it from batteries I don't think it would be practical, it would drain them pretty quickly.

It comes with a wall-wart. I found the one supplied to get very hot so I use a different one. I, like one of the previous comments, have mine mounted outside and hard wired into my home. If you do not have too many trees I think solar would be an excellent option. I don't think I would recommend batteries unless you have a way to recharge them (solar, wind).

You cannot use batteries off the shelf. I am sure you could rewire it or get a cord somehow possibly but no, not just off the shelf.

It must be plugged in with the included power supply (wall-wart) -- it cannot receive power over ethernet like some cameras, and there is no internal battery option.

It comes with a power supply,batteries can be done if you make the power connection but the drain would cost a lot of money. If you use it outside with the right weather proof box I used a solar panel with recharge batteries that work really good.

You can use batteries (4 or 8 AA if I'm not mistaken), but it is not rechargeable.

It does not use any battery. It connects to your source and the power is derived from your source i think.

Yes, it is not battery powered. It must be plugged into a wall outlet in order to work.

It does not take batteries, only AC power. I think portable refers the tiny size of it.

I think youre asking if this takes batteries? It does, but you should use a power plug if you can.

It doesn't require any batteries as it is solar. Just take off the top and turn it on. It charges up when it is in sunlight.

The other answers are correct. This needs to be plugged in to a power source.

It is battery powered. Two "C" batteries. The batteries in mine lasted a whole week so I returned it. They do make a solar model with rechargeable batteries that I switched to, and 1 month later, so far so good

It plugs in. I can't remember if you can use batteries too, we just always use the plug.

Strictly battery powered. Uses 3 AAA batteries wired in series. It also comes with 3 batteries that I have yet to replace.

It's battery powered so you have to buy batteries. I believe it can be powered with AC adapter but it doesn't come with it.

Yeah! So I've plugged mine in for a power source, but it takes batteries.However, it doesn't have a speaker/amp so you'd need to orchestrate a way to do that

No batteries required. It needs to be plugged into an electrical socket and comes with the power adapter.

The fan is powered either via USB cable or batteries. It does not come with batteries. You can use rechargeable batteries if you like, but the fan will not recharge them when plugged in.

Greetings. This product can only be powered by batteries. Thanks for your question.

It does not take batteries. I have a power converter in my car, and I have plugged it into that to use while traveling, but it really is not meant to be terribly portable.
