is there a battery power option?

No it uses a plug in wire. I think it requires a certain voltage & amperage to work properly. You could always just not power it on & then it's just not nearly as brite. It would be just a signboard with neon writing.

NO. It is plug only. I don't know if there are ones out there that are battery operated

Unfortunately, it is not battery powered. I wish it was since I have misplaced the power cord.

Yes, but it has an option for batteries. I suppose it is in case of power outage.

Ofcourse Yes. That is what I do. I am always connected to power because the battery is very poor

There is no internal battery option. Household AC or external DC (12V) or AC power converter pushing 1 A.

Yes. You have the option of using batteries or the AC adapter, which is included.

No and I use them all the time for a variety of different battery-powered things. You might want to email customer service and let them know though.

No, but I use rechargeable batteries and the expense on power has been negligible.

The power supply is an option. It uses a 9 volt battery (not supplied - no surprise there). When the power supply is used, the battery functions as a back-up.

None. As with any battery you want to keep it charged and not deplete it under 10%

We have ours plugged in. There is a small transformer. I don't have the directions anymore so I can't say if it had any alternate power possibilities. I wonder if you might be able to contact the manufacturer to ask. BTW - we still love it.

This device has a battery so you don't have to keep the power plugged in. Still though I wouldn't recommend this product.

Yes. You can also hold the power button while charging, and it will speak out the battery's status.

Yes, but I have never used the batter power. I have always plugged the machine in to a power outlet.

Ours is powered by adapter. I do not remember seeing a battery compartment or directions advising us of that options. It is behind our mounted tv or I would look to confirm.

While it does not support a battery power option, you could purchase a APC battery backup for the times when energy is down.
