yes, battery must be in and have at least a charge enough to power on in order to do anything with the camera (including upload pictures to your computer.) I bought an extra off brand battery works great, and its nice to have two.

Hello, this is solely battery operated; a good set of batteries don't drain quickly and it is a very good device :)

No, it is battery only. 2 AAA I think. It lasts for a decent amount of time since its LED

Nope. It's battery powered only. You have to modify its scheme if you want to power it up with an ac adapter.

Not battery operated. It has a small piece of metal inside that flexes whwwhen the button is pressed making the 'click'. Havent had mine too long but have had no problems with it yet

Nope, not battery operated. You need a heavy duty extension cord. Very aggressive trimming. A terrific piece of equipment.

Electricity ONLY. I was mistaken by the search results and bought it thinking it was battery operated. Not a stupid question, the description is deceiving.

No, it only runs on battery. The battery lasts a month or more depending on use, so not a big deal.

It is battery operated. Does not look like it's outdoor rated. Personally, I would not put this outside. Its not that sturdy.

It is not battery operated. It can be powered by the included power adapter or via PoE (Power over Ethernet), if you have a PoE capable switch. I am using mine with PoE since I have it mounted outside the house and Ethernet is more stable, secure and provides a faster connection to the network. Besides, using PoE requires only one cable be run to the outside (no separate power cable required.)

Hi Bob-Yes, it is battery operated. I haven't used it yet, therefore, I am unable to provide feedback of the item.Karen

No, it is only battery powered. Not sure why anyone would really need that capability, provided you can plan ahead an hour or so to charge a depleted battery, if that is ever the case.
