Can it use batteries

The Onyx radio is not designed to operate on batteries. An electrical hobbyist could probably construct a separate battery pack that would plug into the radio's power port, but the average consumer would not be likely to have the skills required. I am not aware of any such battery pack being offered by Sirius or any other retailer. You can buy a 'boom box' accessory that accepts the Onyx radio, and operates on batteries, but it costs well over a hundred dollars and is quite large. Not something you can fit in your pocket.

No. Well, yes, I suppose if you want to go to a lot of trouble. I believe it runs on 4.5 volts. So if you can arrange 3-1.5 volt batteries (AAA, AA, C or D) in series (end-to-end) and connect the output to the Onyx's power input, it's possible. There used to be portable XM Radios, so I would suggest looking for one of those if it's portability you want. Good luck.

Yes. It has a battery and I have used it both ways which is the reason I bought it. If I need to use it without electricity I can just as well.

NO. It doesn't need batteries. It's wired. Please try another computer if it is still not working, please contact info Perixx, thank you.

It does not use batteries. You have to either plug it into an outlet or the car.

No, it requires two AA batteries though I imagine you could use rechargeable batteries . The batteries last a pretty long time though .

I didn't look to see if it ran with batteries. It would be impractical. Get a electrical cord long enough for whatever you plan to use it for.

You can use batteries but it does come with a cord. I would suggest the optional extension cord as well.

No. Only via the AC wall adapter. Perhaps you could find a compatible car adapter, but it does not have batteries.

Yes it uses batteries or you can plug it in (if you get all that come with it.) see the other reviews. I was apparently lucky to get both lol

No, it uses standard batteries but you can supply your own rechargeable batteries.

It does not use batteries. I CANNOT be used on household current. It is for automotive use ONLY.

Yes it does, and mine takes batteries as well, although I have never tried using batteries in it.

It uses 2 AA batteries. You could certainly use after-market rechargable AA batteries.

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

No. Batteries only. Works very well, but you'll need to use good batteries with this. I used cheap dollar store brand batteries first, and they didn't last very long.

No! It uses batteries. And a lot of them too. The batteries go dead very quick!

Yes you can but the battery will not last long. You are better off using lithium polymer battery. Hope this helps.
