can I use this with out a battery in it?

Yes you can. The first or main battery is in the body of the camera, this houses the second battery OR 6 AA batteries. If no battery is in it, the camera and battery grip controls still function.

no... you can use the camera button, but the vertical release needs the battery.

I don't think there is any battery in there. You need to connect it to a socket.

You can use it with the charger connected, however the charger chord is very short so you can not use it comfortably that way. Not sure how long the battery lasts.

Not really. You need the one that has a battery as well. And it isn't strong enough either, really. Use the c batteries seems to be the best.

yes you can you just need to find something that connects to the battery. You should be able to find something at a hoby shop

No it cannot. There is a battery specifically made for it. (I'm selling mine with extras by the way � )

Yes, you can use it, but regarge it before taking to outside. Unfortunately, it does not keep long power supply as characterized by producent.

if ur using it without batteries yes. if u have batteries in it and are just trying to reserve them then no.

it must be plugged into a wall socket. Or if you have a power inverter you could use a 12vt outlet. It does not have a battery in it.

Sure, I plug it into a 12v back up battery I charge with a solar panel. But you could use an outlet.

Yes and no. You can run it with a battery, but it can't be more than 500ma of current or else it doesn't work right. You can also bleed off your main power source, if you step down the current to under 500ma using some resistors and a MOSFET.

You can use it no problem, but keep the batteries in. There is no reason to remove them. I used mine that way with no problems.

There is a battery housing built into it, so you don't need one. I bought a lawn tractor to use with it.

You can use it with batteries or an adaptor! You can buy it together in amazon

Not sure if you can or not. We bought it for our off grid sauna and leave it plug into the solar panel the entire time we are there on vacation. If I remember correctly the batteries are housed in the light fixture, so I would think it is possible. You may want to ask someone that uses it at home, as we only get up to the cabin once or twice a year due to the distance from home. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

No, you will have to take the battery out and charge it. Otherwise, you will have to buy two batteries... I hope it helps.
