can you use a power transformer instead of battery ? Which one do you recommend?

A transformer can be used if there is enough amperage. We tried ours using jumper cables from pickup battery but would only work when vehicle was running. So we bought a deep cycle battery that runs it all day with no problem. We recharge it at 2 Amps.

I haven't tried that. I know that some people have tried using smaller(garden tractor type batteries) that haven't worked very well. We use a standard deep cycle 12 volt battery. I do recommend getting the remote control, it makes it even more fun. We have launched around 5,000 clays flawlessly with this unit and I highly recommend it! Hopes this helps....Roy

Thomas . . . Simply plug the AC cord into an outlet. The transformer is part of the unit. No external transformer is needed.

Almost all power adapters of this type are switching power from AC to DC. The "premium" is just marketing hype from whet I can tell. The transformer (120-240V AC to 5 V DC) is well made. The reason I needed this transformer was the size of the plug tip. I had an LED lamp and a portable radio / scanner that needed this smaller tip size (which is + by the way). The power change from AC to DC is designated by the term adapter. A better choice of words would be transformer but you don't see that term much. I mean anything with a battery for power runs on DC (direct current). The house power you have is AC (alternating current). This AC power will be used to power the DC device and/or charge the batteries through the use of this adapter. Hope this helps.

A transformer is not necessary unless you plan to view a very large number of slides frequently. Have a set or two of spare batteries on hand or consider buying a battery charger and rechargeable batteries.

you would have to use a transformer to plug it into , then yes you could use this.

No way unles you get a transformer that convert your 220 watts/50 cycles into 110 watts/60 cycles for your battery charger

andrew,just look for suitable electrical transformer with 100 watts and 6o hz

There is a 3V DC 500mAmp power port, but the transformer does not come with it. I'm using it with rechargeable batteries--no problems so far.

Yes, you can. I have this transformer the whole time for my summer vacation last year with no problem, I also brought some electronic stuff back and brought another transformer and use here in US.

No, requires a transformer. I connected mine to a power station that controls my lighting.

Transformer has a 9vac output not DC it would be may be easier to just buy a UPS to power it

We use the power supply and not a battery. Last week we had a power outage. When the power returned we simply turned the unit on and everything performed without retuning.

I do not own a DC adapter for it at all. I have been using solely battery power. Thanks

You can buy simple adapters for the plug. NOT a transformer, just a plug adapter. Amazon sells them.

Something that'll last you for a very long time like this - http://www.amazon.com/Rockstone-Power-Voltage-Transformer-Converter/dp/B00CLYMMCC/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1406841194&sr=8-9&keywords=international+110v+220

Ideally you should use the Innotek Direct Plug-in Class 2 Transformer: model 0400036-1, Input AC 120V 60Hz 7W, Output AC 12V 200mA although I believe a Radio Systems plug-in AC/AC adaptor will work

If your battery is old I would say no. Can you run the alarm without the battery? If you can and it has problems than I would say replace the transformer.I am using mine for a doorbell so I can't say with certainty.
