Does this run on batteries or the electricity from the outlet? I'm seeing a lot of references to batteries.

It operates on an ungrounded wall plug but has a backup battery in it in case it gets unplugged or you lose electricity--that retains the memory of the settings you set up.

Both: primary power is from the outlet, but there is a back-up wafer battery, a 2026, I think.

I run this from the outlet, and it's been exceptionally reliant. There's a back-up battery for emergency power outage.

This unit does not run on battery. This unit runs on the included AC-DC power cord.

No, it doesnt run on batteries. I will work only when connected to an outlet.

It's battery operated. But don't worry, it doesn't work with batteries, either.

It's battery or ac powered. Mine only was used about 6 times before it broke.

Unfortunately, it only runs via power outlet and not on batteries, but it is a wonderful machine. Hope this information helps.

It runs on USB power or three AAA batteries.There are two cords: one that connects to the headphone outlet for audio, and one that connects to the usb outlet for power.

It does not use any battery. It connects to your source and the power is derived from your source i think.

No they do not run on batteries. I had to return our unit because I thought this was something that plugged into the wall on one end, while being able to walk around with the other...but that is not the case. both units require outlets exclusively.

It runs on batteries, but it also can be directly wired without using batteries, if there is a hot wire in the location that you want to put it up.

It doesn't run on batteries. We tried first to install it but couldn't get it to work so we called in an electrician. We really like it now especially since we can set it to a different temp while we are sleeping.

It does not run on batteries. It is completely electric. The cord is sturdy and has an on and off option.

It runs on batteries. You can plug in a 12V power source of your choosing. I use a universal power adapter that came with several plugs and found one that fits nicely.

Does this run on battery or AC power? And, if AC power, does the cord disconnect directly from the unit?

One runs only on batteries and the other offers the option of either using three 9 volt batteries or plugging into outlet. I have the latter unit and I would recommend it over the other. I tried making silver both ways - using batteries and plugging in. To me, it seemed that it made silver much faster plugging in versus using the batteries. Though it is nice to have the battery option for traveling, etc.

No, it doesn't run on battery. It gets its power from your PC when you plug in the USB connection.
