Does this have any internal power storage, or is it straight to the outlet?

There's no power storage, it's a hand crank generator. You just plug an electronic device to it and start cranking to charge the device battery.

Kent is correct, straight to the electonic device and it charges the battery in that device so a battery is redundant. The hand cranks with batteries have them because their generators are too small and they don't work. They do have capacitors. It is a great idea well implemented. Like riding a bicycle, takes a little practice to get the hang of hand cranking. ken

why didn't they add capacitors? I do this at work all the time. sound like a great idea poorly implemented

No it does not, but it has plug into for a CD/DVD sleeve and plenty of power and plenty of space to store your data! I LOVE MINE!

Excuse me? Even in your complaint, it's listed as an External Battery Pack for 1500VA Back-UPS. The photo of it shows no outlets that would be necessary for a UPS unit. Amazon does carry the UPS. I purchased one in September 2011 & they are still selling them.The VA rating gives you the amount of power that the UPS can provide when the power goes out, but in and of ittself doesn't say how long it will provide that power. The external battery pack increases that time substantially.

I bought a 16 watt with an internal battery storage which the one you are looking at doesn't. Charges my I phone 5

There is a small "backup" watcg type battery but it is not a rechargable one. Although I am happy with this unit, I do not recommend it if you are wanting to use it without a power cord.

This does not store electricity nor is it rechargable which is why I sent mine back.

No, it is powered by a cable which is included. It plugs into a standard outlet.

No it does not. We were very unhappy that it used batteries, but we have found at our business we need to move it around a lot, so not having to have an outlet everywhere we need it has been great!

There is only a AC power outlet and one for direct auxillary connection (with a male-male jack included). No sd cards or usb. I really love my Disco II and think its the best bang for your buck.

Yes, external own power supply. No, neither battery backup unit nor flash memory. Yes, it contains a single hard disk. Btw, I would not recommend this device. In my case the embedded USB-to-SATA converter died after 2 years, just out of warranty. Had to buy a new enclosure to keep the hard drive alive (disk is still working, only the converter died),

Total power storage is 6000mAh. Output level is 1 amp, which I consider insufficient for a device of this level. There are devices for less money that product 2 amp output.

It stores the settings in non-volatile memory, which is not lost if the power goes out. So it doesn't need a battery backup.

It uses an external power supply. It only used the USB and thunderbolt connections for data transfer.

Included is a cord for pluging into an outlet, or you can remove the cord and hard wire it in using conduit or other means. It is powered by 120 vac, but has battery backup to retain memory during an outage.

Hi jody it is powered by both,the ac plug adapter and then the battery for backup.only thing though the battery keeps falling out when moved to fill so I finally just taped it and that holds it in but wasn't happy for the price that is has that flaw.

It has a battery inside that will keep the memory intact if the power goes out. It doesn't have an operational battery backup, meaning employees cannot clock in and out when the power is out. We have ours hooked up to an APC UPS battery unit. Honestly, even if Icon offered a battery, it'd probably be just as much (or more) than an APC.

No. There is no built-in storage battery; so it must be connected to AC power.
