Do I need to power the adapter? I don't care about the battery draining while I demo apps.

You don't need to power it. It will charge your battery as you use it. http://www.androidauthority.com/analogix-slimport-nexus-4-127257/

Yes you needs adapter but as long as its 12 volts,you can use it as a power source it comes with aiagator clips for chattery attachment

The batteries are necessary to keep the memory of data and setting. Other user find out that using the battery alone without AC adapter drain the battery quite fast, therefore I recommand use the AC adapter whenever possible to save battery cost.

For me a power adapter takes the 'portable' out of portable. I have rechargeable batteries and don't worry about it. I take extra batteries when I travel, no big deal.

The adapter I have is AC powered and not battery operated. I don't understand the question: "without AC adapter..." and "rather than battery operated." If it is not powered by AC or a battery, how is it supposed to be powered. This unit plugs into an earphone receptacle on the computer. These ports don't supply power like a USB port does. I don't think my answer helps much.

That is exactly what I use it for. I've only had it for a month now but I charged it once and i have class two times a week and I still have full battery indication. I just plug in my IPad or IPhone and run my Zumba playlist and the party is on. I love it and there is no need for an AC power outlet!

No - the adapter is just an alternate power supply. When using the adapter, the auto-off is disabled (it stays on until you turn it off).

I have the i9+ and that did not require charging before loading music. There is power as soon as you attach the device to your computer. Is the USB cable. By the way, the audio is great.

Usually you will need to plug it in for a few minutes to get a enough of a charge in order to turn on and run the CPU, same as if you were using a wall charger. After that, it should. Allow me to state however, that I am using an android tablet not an iPad, but the way the tech works should be the same.

Im powering my 12v monitor using an adapter to connect the battery and it works pretty good. No problems at all! Maybe less brighteen than it should but powers up. I wouldnt recomend powering a wireless monitor with integrated video receiver through

if your device is off, the adapter will turn off. so it will not use connection when not being used.

This is was worked for me, go to control panel. Under system without clicking on it there should be device manager which will open up a window with a list of your devices. Find your Bluetooth adapter and double click. In that windows go to the power management tab and uncheck the box that allows the computer to shut the adapter off to conserve power and click ok. I hope this helps.

I really really really want to flame you but I won't. The adapter whether it be the car plug or anything else is to power the unit and power the unit only. It will automatically turn on when it has power and when it loses power it will then prompt you that it will shut off in 10 seconds unless you tell it to rely on the battery power. So the unit itself is NOT a battery charger and will rely on the external power source first and once that external source is cut it will rely on battery power.

No need for power. I haven't tried it on any other laptops, just my Leveno.

Yes, you may use rechargeable batteries, they will not recharge using the adapter

The unit comes with a power adapter but you don't need to use it. I have a ext HD, wireless mouse/ keyboard combo controller and my UPS USB cable hooked up to it without the power adapter plugged in.

I do not own a DC adapter for it at all. I have been using solely battery power. Thanks
