Would this device run off of a type of rechargeable battery? I would like to put one on my bicycle for riding at night.

Used these lights on our haunted trail. Before setting them in place and running power to a transformer we used a 12 volt, rechargeable battery used for jumping a car. Worked fine for our purposes, yet very heavy. Possibly a deer feeder/uninterruptible power supply battery or similar may do the job.

No, I have never ran out of charge Though. Unless you talk the hole 6 to 10 hrs straight it stays charged for 300 hrs. on standby. If I'm Going to be gone all weekend I take the USB plug with me and charge it up at night. I have a plug on my bike so I can use for a couple of hrs. and I'm ready to go again. The 1000m snaps right off so you can put it away while it charges and you continue to ride.

Yes It has a 12 volt rechargeable for bikes with no battery or you can wire it to a battery. Battery stays charged for 5 or 6 hrs and takes about 2 minutes to recharge.

no, I have not run it off an external battery. It's an interesting question--especially for people who go camping.

Im not 100 percent sure but ive left my lights on over night by accident and it didn't kill my battery. But every bike is different.

A single Battery will run it, Just depends on what your plugging in to it. I have two deep cycle Marine Batteries powering mine in my RV, But one will work fine, just wont last as long,

I've only had it a short while, although it spends most of its time plugged into its bike mount, when its out it works fine on battery, though have not used it stand alone long enough to see how long the battery actually lasts.

No, it is not designed to run off of batteries, and there is no battery compartment, etc. Yes, it could run off of batteries provided you have some more advanced electrical knowledge or know someone with some-it runs off of dc electrical power, the same type of power your Duracells give you. But, it is a bit complicated. You would need to "construct" a battery pack for it in the sense that you need to come up with the rated power input from some battery/combination of batteries-it is 12v 3000mA DC input (at least that is what the supplied transformer outputs to the unit)-you would probably want to use a 12v battery of some kind (or for the size you want you might get 12v out of a combination of smaller voltage batteries in series) and then probably wire up to the dc input connector or take the back off and directly wire (i.e. solder) some battery leads to the inputs on the pcb. A laptop battery might work for this application. This would of course void your warranty.

No it doesn't run off batteries. You plug it into the lighter receptacle in your vehicle.

The device is not a battery. It converts 12 volt DC to AC current. It connects to a deep cycle battery provides a limited amount of backup power.

I use it for late night city running. I only turn it on in oncoming traffic or crossing a road. So I'm not sure how long it last for.

it may run it quit a few hours !! if the charge was full. not sure as to how many hours and it may take you using it before you need it for power .that way ou will have a good idea . good luck

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!

There are higher output non-rechargeable batteries. These wouldn't power a device I have which will run for about 8 hours with Energizer Ultimate Lithium. I'm groused I can't seem to find a rechargeable that'll power the device.

you can it will take a good while to charge it. over night will work if battery is not bad. hope this helps.Thomas.

This tire gauge uses a regular watch type battery that is not rechargable. Replaceable only. My previous one was 3 years old and still functioning fine when I lost it.

I have mine plugged into an electrical socket all the time. I bought it for when there is a power failure at night. When the house power goes off, the flashlight will turn on. Not only will I be able to find it, but I will have light on high for around 2 hours and if I keep it on night lite setting it can last up to 15 hours. For $7.99 it is a great device for safety when emergencies happen. I am not sure how long it takes to charge from the dead state as I have always kept it plugged in since I received it.
