can it run on batteries?

No, and one of its more annoying aspects is that it doesn't have an on/off switch, so you more or less have to keep it on all the time or keep plugging and unplugging it.

yes. it also can run on 6 AA batteries. you can buy rechargable AA batteries. they run down a little faster, but you should still get 10 hours out of them between the last and first frost of the year.

Unfortunately no. It runs on ordinary AAA batteries. Try rechargeable batteries to save cost.

No! It uses batteries. And a lot of them too. The batteries go dead very quick!

If it doesn't have an electrical plug attached - then no. I bought two: 1 uses electricity and the other uses batteries.

Great Question! So sorry though, it doesn't run on batteries. If you are going to use it in a car you need to get a converter that uses the cigarette lighter and provides a plug in. That is what I do when I'm on the road. I use a 110v. They are not expensive to pick up.

Yes, in fact I forgot it could even run on batteries. I've always only used it plugged in. I love it and use it every day to put my face on.I just checked underneath and, yes, it can run on batteries. Good to know.

well - it has a port for a plug in, so I went to Radio Shack and got what should have worked - and nope. So I would say no. It does run for a really long time on batteries though

No, it can't run from batteries. But the adapter is small and the cord standard length (~6'). Hope this helps...great little device.

Yes. It runs on a built in rechargeable battery and can be used corded or cordless.

No it does not run on batteries and doesn't make noise. It would be great for work!

No. Nothing I have found would generate enough power that runs on batteries.

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

No, it does not run on batteries. Both the camera and the monitor plug into the wall.

No this doesn't run on battery. We need to connect it to plug whenever we want to play.

No. Only via the AC wall adapter. Perhaps you could find a compatible car adapter, but it does not have batteries.

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