I'd like more details about the battery activation function. What kind, how many, where are they installed? I don't have access to 110 AC or 220.

I used the battery option as well as I did not think it was worth running electric for it. I used the lithium ion batteries to get some extra life. I had it in our old house for probably 8 months and never had to change the batteries. Definitely get the mixing valve.

The details say 4 AA and if I remember correctly that us correct. They go in the white square box as shown in one of the last pictures. Don't forget the mixing valve. Ours works great.

The ones I bought were wired to a circuit and have a battery back up. I did not see any that you just plugged in to an outlet.

This unit required an power outlet ( wall socket to power it ) and can be only use 110Vac, it can not use 220-240Vac and can not use battery. I hope this will help, good luck.Timothy Dam

I work mine with 110 volts, I dont think it works with 220. however you can find the manual online and it gives you the required info..

The battery eliminator (wall wart) that came with my unit was only the 110v unit. It is a hefty one at that. It only came with the one, so if you need the 220v version be sure to read the sales description CAREFULLY. Hifiman offers both versions. Basically it is a 16v @ 0.5 Amp converter that is extra heavy duty. If you don't see a 220 unit listed, I would search amazon.uk stores.

Hi Stephen. I don't know the answer to that. I have not used them because they only charge to about 65 %. I have two sets and the new battery charger. They sit in a box of other junk totally unused for the last year or so. I found it far cheaper and more satisfying to go to the Dollar Store and buy cheap batteries. I get far more pictures.... hundreds more ! Literally. I wish I had sent them back... The cheap foreign ones are far suprior in my opinion. Hope this helps.

It is not battery powered, it takes an AC to DC power brick. The one that comes with it is for 120 but I am sure you could easily find one for 220

I usually change it over the night, so I haven't counted the hours. But I guess it probably would take about 3 hours. BTW, the 110V power -> USB adapter is not included.

Oh, bummer, it's 110 only. Could you get a small transformer? It also runs on 4 AA batteries, so maybe that's an option for you.

Glad to help! Is the 13.5 number you mentioned the Amp load? The Amp load is one of the two pieces of information that would be very helpful. The other would be how long you would estimate the AC unit would be running per 24 hours. With those two pieces of information we can calculate how many panels would be needed and the battery bank size needed for your power storage requirements. Regards, Lisa, for Explore Electric

HiNo, it doesn't have battery backup system, I think you can use a battery convertor to convert 12v DC to 110 AC, I have such a device and haven't try it yet, will try this weekend.

1.Not a battery powered,they provide ac adapter for 110 v.2.I don't know about 220v , you must ask to seller.

The chassis has a slot where a 110/220 switch could be populated, however my unit does not have a switch installed and it is covered by a "Input 104V-127V, 60Hz" label. If my unit breaks I will take it open and check for an extra set of windings on the transformer but right now it is working and I do not have time to take on that extra task.

Were you able to find a 220 charger? We are in the same situation. I don't want to have to use a transformer for charging, and I don't want to buy the euro 18v version just for the 3 years I am stationed in Europe. Thanks!

I believe it's 110 only. The cord that ships with it is standard 2 prong and I did not see a 110/220 switch near where it plugs in. I'll look at it again when I get home tonight.

Wish I could tell you. I had so much trouble with 4 of these I sent them back. One stop working all together and other 3 showed out voltage of 18v to battery and cheaper to return them than burn batteries up. Wish you luck but check output voltage before you turn your back on them.

It uses a small proprietary 3.x volt, don't remember, think it was 3.3 Volt, I replaced it with a much higher capacity 3.7 Volt Motorola cell phone battery, gets about 7-8 hours use, works perfectly, easily (solder it) installed, this is going on 5 years of use, try that on a typical wired set!
