Can this product run while plugged in or can it only run off of the battery?

Mine came with a stand charger so I can only use it when it's charged. The electrical cord is connected to the charger.

Hello David! Yes this product works cordless or with cord attached. Its detachable.

I use it both ways. Sometimes battery gets low half way thru a cut, do I just plug then in and continue on

Yes...... not sure why you'd want to, but it runs just fine while plugged in.

Yes, it can run on the built in battery - not for an extended period of time though.

I am having trouble running it off AC power. The plug isn't designed well and it fell out of my power strip, so the battery ran out of charge totally. Now it's plugged in, but it doesn't want to work yet because the battery is not charged. So, it runs off the battery only, but you can try to keep the battery recharging as you use it by keeping it plugged in.

You don't have to unplug it. I keep mine plugged in with no problems. Nothing remains running. I'm not even sure why it says that.

Yes, it will run quite a long time on just the batteries (I haven't plugged mine in for a couple of months). When it is plugged in, the battery serves only as a backup, so it doesn't run down the battery power if you have the adapter. The adapter isn't technically necessary if you are happy replacing the batteries when they run out, but I like having it to save the batteries when I'm just keeping it in one place.

Hello, I have a few of these. It runs on electric plugged into the wall. But I had an electrician wire a plug on mine so it can also use a 12 A 7 V battery too. It works great on both. Hope this helps.

It runs solely on the battery, but the battery seems to be lasting way longer than the stated 3 hours of run time. I know I've forgotten to turn it off several times and it is still running hours later. I'm not at all unhappy with the battery duration.

The frame works only plugged in. It's not charged to run without being plugged in.

It can run on batteries, but it comes with a plug in adapter to run off electricity.

Yes, it runs forever when it is unplugged. As a matter of fact, the clock was still running when I received it.

It can run attached to a power source but only with battery in. Thus you slowly destroy the battery's capacity to hold a charge. If you can remember to turn it off when not using, then battery will last. Don't buy it if you have a choice. I have three so far -- they only keep working about 6 months.

I'm agreeing with the prior answer. No reason it can't run all night with enough battery power! I usually run mine for just a time then shut off manually though, but that's just my preference. Use the auto shut off occasionally too!

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

Yes. It will run until you turn it off. There is a setting for an automatic shut-off too if you want to use it.

I run it on the battery. The instructions that came with it said it is better to run off battery rather than run on the power adapter, although that does work too. Just used it in a small gig today and it worked great on the battery.

Yes it can still be on while plugged in. It has a remarkably long battery life also between charges.
