Can it run on a battery - is that included? Or do you have to plug it in?

Hi, It does not come with batteries. It comes with an AC adpater that you need to plug in to the wall outlet. Thanks, PCrush

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

It runs on a rechargeable battery that charges with a USB charger or wall plug (universal size). Battery is not replaceable to my knowledge.

I didn't look to see if it ran with batteries. It would be impractical. Get a electrical cord long enough for whatever you plan to use it for.

No. It runs on a cord. There is no extension cord included so you will need one of your own

its got a 3 pronged plug in. you can run it with a car battery hooked up to an inverter, if u wanna use it on the go. u just have to make sure that whatever u plug it into had 3 prongs.

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

Great Question! So sorry though, it doesn't run on batteries. If you are going to use it in a car you need to get a converter that uses the cigarette lighter and provides a plug in. That is what I do when I'm on the road. I use a 110v. They are not expensive to pick up.

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

It can run attached to a power source but only with battery in. Thus you slowly destroy the battery's capacity to hold a charge. If you can remember to turn it off when not using, then battery will last. Don't buy it if you have a choice. I have three so far -- they only keep working about 6 months.

This unit MUST be plugged in to operate. Unfortunately it does NOT contain a standalone battery.

Doesn't need a battery, will run standalone on AC. On a side note we love ours, still going perfectly.

You can plug it in and you have the option to use batteries. I had mine for almost a year and never put a battery in it.

It's battery operated, however, you can also use an AC adapter, but that's not included.

It must be plugged in. But it does have a battery because there is a CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.

Yes, it is designed to be plugged into the wall socket, not run on batteries normally.
