Can it run on AC power, or does it only run on battery power?

When you plug in to recharge it you can use it, so I would say yes. I use it both ways. The charge lasts a long time as it had never run out on me. Lights on the side indicate level of power left which is helpful. I love this device!

I am having trouble running it off AC power. The plug isn't designed well and it fell out of my power strip, so the battery ran out of charge totally. Now it's plugged in, but it doesn't want to work yet because the battery is not charged. So, it runs off the battery only, but you can try to keep the battery recharging as you use it by keeping it plugged in.

It is 9V only, no battery option so u would need to purchase a 9V power supply to run it

AC only, as far as I can tell. (I examined it very closely & didn't see a battery area.)

I apologize to you for answering too late. Its not battery operated just only AC. Best Regards.

Hi. This unit does not run on batteries. It's AC power only. The sound is OUTSTANDING for the price and size. I have had mine for a couple of months and have zero regrets.

It CAN work on batteries only, but comes with a power cord. Batteries are required in the "memory" portion.

I run mine from an inverter that is hooked up to batteries that are charged by my solar array. It uses very little power.

I never run it on batteries, mine is plugged in at all times. The supplied power supply is 5 Volts at 100 mili-Amps. I suppose you could power it from a USB power supply provided you could connect with the correct connector.

You mean does it plug into wall outliet or A/C or run on batteries? Both are electricity. As is solar.

It runs only on batteries, which I have not had to replace since owning it, 9/2013.

no, it does not run on batteries, it needs to be plugged into an electrical outlet

Hello, I have a few of these. It runs on electric plugged into the wall. But I had an electrician wire a plug on mine so it can also use a 12 A 7 V battery too. It works great on both. Hope this helps.

No, it can operate with battery es too. The battery is Only when there no ac power. I dont know how long will the battery last, because i Only use it with the battery

it requires a DC power source. If you want to use AC power you will have to convert it to DC.

Not battery powered. Has a transformer that plugs into 120VAC. The transformer output is low voltage AC.

About the only way that you can manage to effectively run an AC unit on battery power is to have a minimum of 600+W of Solar, installed correctly with shortest possible runs of 6 gauge wire hooked up to no less than 1000ah bank of "Lithium Iron Phosphate" batteries. The Lithium Battery is the key component, its less than half the weight, can draw 50% more power from it, charges to 100% max in a fraction of the time and last 500% longer. http://www.technomadia.com/2012/09/a-year-on-lithium-rv-batteries/ http://www.balqon.com/1000-ahr-lithium-battery/

The unit runs on batteries only, no AC port available without modification. it has an auto shutoff, so the batteries last a long time.
