can it move without the battery?

No, poor feature as the power driven wheels click and don't rotate smoothly without resistance. It moves but not easily and likely impacts the life of the drive feature.

not as freely as the non-motorized trains...it is able to be pushed but I don't know if it's good for it..so we don't, hope that helps :) We love ours...we've had it nearly a year now and it's still going strong!

Yes. You can push it and the wheels move. The coal and barrel move when you push it as well. If you do out a battery in it, it will connect to other train cars and push/pull them along as well. Our 4yo loves this :)

Yes I suppose you can but it's not suppose to. It's difficult to push and makes a clicking noise.

If you mean like a Roomba, no. If you mean does it have enough power that you just push it (most of the time) without feeling its weight--then yes.

It doesn't need a battery....it has a charger. There will not be a dead battery.

Yes the cart can be pushed when the battery is not turned on, just like another push cart.

Yes, it only runs on batteries and it is very easy to move around in the house.

No. The advantage of this one is that it does not have to use batteries. Using the mains connection permits it to work at a much lesser weight.

The unit should work without battery, however it is rather exotic to be used just as a DC power supply, and it is a switching power supply, so the startup current of the lift may overload it. I would suggest adding a battery even just a small tractor battery to handle this. Also if you had a power failure, the lift would work as emergency backup

Yes, it will not work in the car without it, since it doesn't come with batteries.

Nope. It's got a spring-load lever on the side of it. No batteries required.

Yes it requires a battery. It uses very little energy even with frequent usage. I've had mine for a year and haven't needed to change the battery yet.

It can definitely roll without power. It's rather heavy (in a good way) so you'll be bumming if you need to go far.

it won't charge it without a battery, but you can keep it plugged in and use the controller without batteries it just has to remain plugged in the whole time.

No. It turns from transformer into car and back. But no sound action etc to require batteries.

Hi, yes you can move it into certain positions due to the way it has been built ie. detachable parts. But it doesn't move it on its own ie doesn't have batteries etc and does not make noise. Its basically a model not really to play with as such.
1588646
yes. It has an autonomous 12 volt system. (battery should be maintained during long non-use periods)

No. Its batteries are internal and rechargeable. I guess they can be replaced but would require disassembly. It also has a hand crank for emergency power.

No, Frank I don't think it makes a purring sound or moves or anything; it's just a fluffy toy, so it does not need batteries
