Is there a way to hardwire this? I don't want to use batteries.

No, but the batteries do last a long time. If you find someone savvy with electronics I'm sure they can wire up a power supply. It would need a transformer to reduce the voltage

No. You have to hard wire it. It's simple with the enclosed directions. I bought a cord from one of the big box stores; 3 prong plug at one end and bare wires at the other. Piece of cake.

It is supplied with bare wires, you can either hardwire it or add a 12VDC power plug. Be aware that the wires are 22 - 24 AWG, ie very hard to work with for hardwiring.

I would suspect that you could connect to a battery with a converter. Have not done that. There are solar fans that would not require electric power of any kind. We used this for one summer, took it to a desert location, planning to get a solar fan for it soon.

The easy way is to get an inverter like this: http://amzn.com/B004MDXS0U and plug a 110V power supply into it. A cheaper way would be to use a voltage regulator to provide the 7.4V, but that requires some skill with electronics.

This unit is powered from the voltage of the wire. No battery. There was is another model number that bruns from battery. I install those models. Just search it.

No it has to be hard wired. If you need it to be a plug in an electrician could convert it

You would need to install a plug on the end of the wires. The best and neatest way is to wire this directly into an electric box. This would probably require an electrician.

not that i am aware of....you would have to rewire it...which is possible..

Yes, this requires a plugin nearby (cord roughly 8 feet in length) and does not run using batteries.

Sure it can be hardwired. Just cut off the plug on the cord and connect your wired. Not sure about removing the plug cord completely and directly connecting

No this is an AC device not a DC device. You would have to have a converter connected to the battery for that to be possible.

All i do is plug it into a wall outlet, what alternative way are you looking for?

I returned this; I think it was because this unit cannot use batteries and must run off a common wire -- which I don't have it my current (pun intended) setup.

If you cut the plug off the end of the power cord, you could then separate and strip the wires. Then you would be able to "hard wire" to whatever power source you have.

yes you can comes with a on and off switch so it can be hard wired directly to the battery or any other power source justl to be on the safe side add a 3 amp fuse just for protection

It is not protable. It sits on a shelf, plugged into the wall current, without a handle or battery. the speaers are separate connected by wires.
