Does this pump have to be plugged into the wall or can you buy a battery pack separately/does it take batteries?

It has to be plugged into the wall. I believe the S3 has a battery pack. I have used mine in a car when needed by purchasing an adapter that fits into the cigarette lighter.

Yes, you can. The pump even comes with its own battery pack that you fill with 8 AA batteries. It's not as strong at the same level as when it's plugged into the wall socket but it does the job nicely at a slightly higher suction level. In addition, the batteries last for about 15 pumping sessions before you need to change them.

Yes, needs to be plugged in. I would recommed looking for a Colman airbed they had a battery powered pump like this one: Coleman Queen Airbed Cot with Side Tables and 4D Battery Pump(Coleman C001 Queen Airbed Cot with Side Tables and 4D Battery Pump )

Yes it does plug in to wall. I have never tried with just batteries though. This piece is not user friendly and I would never purchase again

unfortunately nope, only the single electric pump has the battery pack as far as i know...

No, this one requires a plug but they do have 3 models that have internal battery pack. M1, S1 and M9. I use the M1 twice a day and the S1 as my new full time pump. They are wonderful!

I'm not sure about question 1. 2. Only the single pump takes batteries. You must use a plug for the double pump.3 I have not tried the single. I chose the double because it is time-saving. You can also use it as a single if you choose to. I didn't need the battery option (I think you will be spending a lot on batteries). I do have a converter that allows me to plug into my car's cigarette lighter... That has come in handy for on-the-go.

It is only plug in.. However when I used my one time in January of 2013 I cleaned it put it back in box stored it to December 2013 plugged it in and pump would not come on ..ended up throwing in trash after one use. But wasn't a lot of money so I didn't feel to bad.

As the others have stated, it is plugged into an outlet. On a side note, the pump itself is a separate unit and can be replaced at a later date when it dies (or in my case, puts out too much water)

There is power cord from the pump to the wall outlet. In our case, it is long enough to put the pump at the base of the bed. If your wall plug is farther, you can just use a standard electrical extension

Yes, it needs to be plugged in. I am sure there are some battery operated models, this one, however, is not one of those.

Yes, The pump comes with an ac adapter that can be plugged directly into a wall outlet. The cord is not incredibly long, although it reaches across the width of my queen size bed. That's all I needed. The battery pack is sold separately, and is great for pumping when you travel or for pumping in areas with no outlet available. For example, your workplace may have a room for you to pump, but the outlet may be inconveniently placed in proximity to your chair.

The plug part requires no battery. The wall-switch part requires a 9 volt battery.

Yes, it does need plugging into the wall. We are using one in Turkey where the voltage is just short of the English 240 volts and we have had no problem with it. I have not been able to find a battery type.

Excellent question. It comes with a pump that is battery operated. Since it doesn't run by electricity, I would guess a battery charger would not work unless possibly if the batteries need recharged.

It is portable, especially if you just carry it in the tote. The pump does not take batteries.

The pump runs on electricity. It plugs into wall outlet and goes thru a transformer. I've had mine outside for almost a year with no problems.
