Mine did not come with any sort of power connection other than a USB cable. Fortunately I already had a surge protector that also has 2 usb ports on it so I'm able to keep it charged at all times without connecting to my computer. (search "Belkin 3-Outlets Surge Suppressor with USB Charging" and you'll see it - the Belkin product has been 100% worth the price) You should know that I absolutely love this player and plan to purchase one for a family member for Christmas. Hope this helps!

Yes you can power this through a wall socket. You need a USB adaptor (same as IPhone). Output is on back.

To power it through the wall you have to buy the USB plug, that's how I power it, I haven't even hooked it up to my laptop yet.

You can power it through the wall socket, but it only comes with a USB cord. I use my phone charger to plug it into the wall (my phone charger has a port for the cord).

Laptop only as far as I can tell. But you may be able to get a usb outlet at Radio Shack. It stays charged pretty long.

I use my USB AC power adapter that I use to charge my iPhone. Haven't had any problems. Here's a link if you don't know what I'm talking abouthttp://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0038HYPZS/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1353808921&sr;=8-8π=SL75

Can be powered through a wall socket, that's how I have it set up. I haven't tried the laptop features yet.

It will operate on generic USB hubs that pass +5 volts from your computer USB jack. Not all laptop and notebook USB jacks will do this. In that case you will need a USB hub with an external 5 Volt supply.

no you have to plug it into a power source. that's the only way it will work.

Through USB. I use a laptop. You would need an additional converter to plug it into the wall.

No, it doesn't need a separate power supply, it can draw the power from USB port on a laptop. If you intent to connect it to an USB hub, make sure that the USB hub can provide sufficient power. Non/low powered USB hub will not work.

No. The board can be powered through USB, and you can purchase an external battery pack or wall wart to provide DC power away from a computer.

This type of product is not really meant for indoor house use, it is an outdoor light suitable for connection to a 12V to 24V battery or the electrical system of a vehicle with one of these two battery voltages in it. However, you can power it from a common laptop power supply brick. The particular model doesn't matter, they're all capable of a voltage within the range this needs and enough current.

Unfortunately, no, it does not power the laptop/notebook. You still need the power supply that came with the computer :(

Short answer is "no". There are two wires coming out of the unit that you can basically connect to the terminals of a 12V battery (I used a car battery). You'd need to get a 12V power supply that plugs into the wall and hook it up to that if you wanted non-battery power.

You'll need to pull in your laptop separately. This dock does not have a power source. Its small and handle though and I'm pleased with my purchase.

No this is Poe consumer so you can power it without using the wall plug power supply.

You would use the battery power if there were no electrical outlets such as in the backyard. It comes with a charger so you just plug it in the outlet.

Yes, just use the standard usb cable to connect to a laptop or to an external battery.

It is powered via USB 2.0, which can be done by plugging into the laptop USB

Yes, it can be used without connecting the power adapter if your USB device power requirements are low enough. The only power available in that case would be the power supplied by your USB port on the computer, usually only 500 ma.

NO, your laptop won't have enough power. I tried that, it didn't work for me. Make sure you tell them to give you a U.S. adapter if you order it because you will get one from ASIA, if you don't.

It comes with a power supply for the wall outlet and yes it requires batteries only if you want to use it wirelessly.
