This equipment uses 120v power, just like a blender. Either a generator or a powerful inverter you connect to your car battery. Just search for portable 120v power sources. You'll want to make sure your power source generate enough wattage too. The wattage required may be in the specs in the listing.

They need to have an AC plug in to work, but that is your only limitation. Very portable as long has you have an outlet

The motors and obviously the GPS electronics work on DC electricity, so you should be able to run it with either batteries or AC adapter (wall outlet). Mine didn't come with a battery pack holder. It came with a car plug, and I had to order the AC adapter for the wall outlet. I built a battery pack for a smaller Meade 4.5" telescope, from components bought in Radio Shack. I suspect you could do the same for this one, but I have not done so yet.

Hello Thanks for your message, the item needs to work under 110V power, would you please check if your outdoor charger supply about 110V? Please do not worry and contact us if the item still can not work well, I will solve the problem with you immediately. Thanks for your understanding and patience, have a nice day:) Regards Amanda

You can use either power source. It comes with an AC adapter. I purchased a separate battery pack for travel.

I own a couple of these and the only way to power them on location is via extension cord or a generator. Harbor Freight sales some inexpensive generators. They are not ac/dc, if they are there is nothing on their website stating what battery to use. Hope that helps.

They are not made to accept battery's. You would have to use an external battery pack with an equal amp rating as the power supply output.

I wish I could help you, but so far, I have not experienced a power outage where I live since I purchased the set. I still have a plain old plug into the wall telephone outlet phone just in case.

I use the energizer lithium AA. They seem to do a great job. Not sure about external packs.

I don't use the batteries for power , I just bought the power cord to use 110 volt house power.It's not very expensive and a lot cheaper than keep changing batteries

No battery pack needed, your rc car is the power source. Just connect the light set to your rc cars batter source.

My battery pack is a Lithium Ion type and model # DC9181 Type 1 20 Wh and is still going strong...I have 2 batteries that came with the set, a drill and a light and the battery got drenched and will not work now...I guess it is not waterproof...should be though.

You would use the battery power if there were no electrical outlets such as in the backyard. It comes with a charger so you just plug it in the outlet.

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.

I wish I could help with that question. I know that we own a kit for power adapters when we travel. Perhaps you could look in to that.

Consider cheaper fix like external USB portable battery chargers like Ankor... Universal so can use with anything
