Does this have a rechargeable battery or plug in? Also do you have to continually hold the power switch to operate?

Hello Barbara,This plugs in and does need to have the switch continually held. That said I'm fairly happy with it and as I'm unlikely to know ahead of time when I need it prefer to not worry about the battery being dead.

I cannot answer. I purchase things for 20 people in the department where I work. Sorry that I cannot help.

It just has a positive and ground wire that come off the switch box. You can put a plug on it or go straight to battery. Hope this helps

It does not take batteries. Plug it in after use and that recharges the built in battery. I've had mine about 10 months and it will no longer hold a charge longer than a few seconds! Also it will only run off the battery power! I hoped I could just plug it in and use it that way but it stops charging and uses the battery that won't charge so it is useless without a working battery!

No - it is battery operated. Nothing rechargeable that comes with it. But these are great lamps!

No it is not a rechargeable item. However, I got around that problem by having rechargeable batteries. This works well for me because I work at a couple different facilities. So by not having to plug my equipment in to keep it charged the chances of my forgetting my equipment at one of the facilities is highly unlikely.

I bought one about a year ago and have kept it for emergencies. Battery is still good. I do not know if the switch allows the battery to deplete.

Yes it is battery powered but not with a rechargeable battery. You can buy rechargeable batteries or just keep using regular batteries. The battery life is short though! We've only used the plug in.

It has it's own rechargeable battery included. You flick a switch on the back, unplug it and you are good to go. I used it for about thee hours this weekend at moderately high volume for three hours before the battery gave out. The battery is not removable.

Its not battery operated if that's what you are asking. You have to plug it in to use it.

It has a rechargable battery but that battery doesn't last very long so it's better if it's plugged in all the time. Plus, it works better when it's plugged in then when it's on battery mode

It does not have a power switch. I want to say it does draw power when there are no devices connected, but not sure.

it has a rechargeable lithion -ion battery which cannot be replaced. I bought it because it does have a power cord which allows you to use it if battery is not charged.

I leave it on all the time. I don't remember it having a on/off switch. Also the battery lasts months on a full charge.

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

Yes, it comes with a power cord and must be plugged in to function as it does not run off of batteries.

no battery, not rechargeable. it plugs in the outlet, or it can be plugged in the car.. I use it only at home, not in the car.
