can it run off of a 9 volt battery?

We were using a motor shield and could run 3 motors with a 9 volt. They're supposed to be like 3.5v each, you can run it by just hooking it up to the 9v. Careful with too much current (amps), that's what will fry it.

I think it would work just fine for the amount of power it would draw. Although you stated that it is a 12 volt system so you could run it directly from a battery unless you wanted to use an AC to Dc adapter.

No, it uses two AAA batteries and this is one of the main reasons I bought it. I use rechargeable AA and AAA cells and avoid 9v if possible.

Yes. 9v battery operated only. Not sure about the technology. Go to 2gig for product details

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 doesnt run on batteries. I will work only when connected to an outlet.

no, it takes a 9 Volt battery. It has been up 2 weeks now and is still working fine.

It'll run fine off of a 115 volt outlet, won't trip it. We run it off a small 115v 2000 watt portable generator out in the field.

You will need to put 5 volts across the pin labeled 5V, and any of the grounds (GND). You can use a battery, however the power supply must be regulated at 5 volts, so you cannot directly connect a 9 volt cell. You could use something like a 7805 regulator to generate this supply if you intend to use a 9 volt cell.

you can only change 9V battery by rotating the unit to detach from wall mount plate.

No it requires 9v battery. You can buy the rechargeable type 9v battery and use it

no. it takes 12v ~500ma power. You could make a battery pack that would supply that quite easily, but it doesn't take batteries.

unfortunately not... and its not your standard 9V connector either. your best bet is a 9V battery, this thing uses hardly any power and one lasts me a good long while

Nope, any 9v should work. I'm using a one spot power supply on it right now

Yes, but only when camper is plugged into 110 AC to power inside AC outlets. The 9 volt battery used in the unit is only for backup when the AC power is out and may discharge quickly. You really should get units intended to run on 12 volts DC for a camper or units that are intended to run on internal batterys. Here's one, I'm sure there are others as well -Kidde KN-COB-B-LPM Carbon Monoxide Alarm

It definitely is powered by a battery but I do not recall if it came with one. I seem to think it requires a 9v. Sorry that I could not be sure.

I don't see why not but this might be overkill for that. As for the connection, I believe the site where this is listed contains several plans depending on what you are trying to do. You can run this from a 9 volt battery so power should not be a problem.
