Can this be connected to an outlet rather than use the battery?

It can be plugged in. I leave it plugged in in my office and only use it as a tablet when using it in other rooms or on the go.

It discourages you to plug in the power pack while using the unit. If you want it plugged in while in use then you have to purchase the optional base.

Sure you can. But you will not need to keep it plugged in. It should do the job without a recharge.

I know there is a battery backup, but I have mine plugged into an outlet. I don't know how long the battery is supposed to last, but I wouldn't recommend it as your primary source of power.

From what I have experienced, there is not "battery" on this product. So it has to be plugged to a power source.

Yes, you will be able to use this as if it is plugged directly into the wall. It will not only power it but also charge it slowly while you are using it.

No you'll still need a cord to connect it to a power outlet. Something like this Belkin 6ft / 3 Prong Notebook Power Cord

I didn't try, but making a power outlet to connect to a battery should be easy.

I don't see why not but this might be overkill for that. As for the connection, I believe the site where this is listed contains several plans depending on what you are trying to do. You can run this from a 9 volt battery so power should not be a problem.

Hello Susan. No, it isn't it needs to be connected to power. It's very nice but I don't consider it portable.

The power source has to be plugged into a wall outlet. You could possible retro fight a USB adapter if you know how...

I would not. This is not a heavy duty device. It has small clips and small wires. It is designed to provide power to devices directly from the battery.

No, you need the USB. But if you have something that could connect the USB to a outlet you can go that.

No reason you couldn't. It plugs directly into an outlet so that might be an astetic issue.

Yes, it can be plugged in directly without removing the battery. It has 2 ports, mini-USB and hdmi.

This outlet does not have a fuse of any kind, so it will provide as much current as the cord from your battery allows. Please note that this is not a USB connection.

you can But i wold not give up the convenience of cord less use. just fully charge the battery when you first get it for ten hours/ over night; once!. for at lest two days . of convenient powered use, having it plugged in dose not increase its power or operation
