Specifications indicate AC adaptor. Is it possible to leave it plugged in continuously to 110 vac? So you don't need to charge it every few days? Thx

wouldn't think the wiring and adapter is suited for outdoor use. Feeder frustrates squirrels and they chew on the chains holding the feeder. I suspect they would chew on the wires.I wish the battery lasted longer. Wish they would also make a version that holds suit.

Hi, Although I have thought about plugging mine into an extension cord an d leaving it on I have not tried it yet. If I leave it charge for 24 hours mine usually lasts almost a week. The feeder went down in price since December so I bought another one so I always have one handy for those pesky squirrels I am trying to catch a possum on it at night. Sorry I could not be of more help. I am so disapointed to hear all the negative reviews. I love my feeder, the squirrels get right off using the remote from inside my house (about 40-50 feet away. The birds (all kinds of birds fight over the feeders! I am so pleased with this product!! Jo Ventura

The bird feeder the squirrel boss is not worth the electric you use it can't be plug in all the time. The squirrels will eat the wire after 3 to 4 months the boss will stop working you will hit the remote and nothing you'll have to be within 2 feet.

I was very unhappy with this and thought this was a complete waste of money.

Can anyone confirm that this device has built-in battery? Mine would stop working when unplugged from 110v outlet.

Hello. There is no AC adaptor. The device requires 2 AA batts. It has brought me huge peace of mind. I highly recommend this. Getting Mom to use it, is a whole other issue. :) Good Luck!

This unit works awesome! However, it operates on 110 VAC. Because it have a low wattage draw it may be possible to rig a 12 VDC battery to an AC power inverter. Even better would be two 12 VDC batts in parallel with an inverter and solar panel to keep them charged during an extended power outage.

Mine works great! There is still a problem with battery life. This thing needs an AC adaptor or a rechargeable battery because you'll find yourself buying expensive large batteries. All in all, it's worth the price.

I agree with JohnBoyToo. An AC adapter / charger is of marginal value (unless you bike ride or hike a lot, and want the convenience to recharge it in the motel). As far as another AC charger damaging the unit, I haven't heard anything about this. It "may" not charge, but I have no idea if it will cause damage.

Not this model. Refer to the bottom of this page. It has a table of which of their chargers are "100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz". You will still need a plug adapter. You should call their technical support to double-check. Battery Tender 021-0127 Battery Tender Junior 6V 750mA Battery Charger

The first one I bought didn't work with the AC adaptor. I had to return it and get another one. That one works fine. If you don't use the adaptor, be prepared to buy a lot of batteries. They only last a few days at most. Good luck.

I use mine 24/7. I bought mine because I live in China and have an American 110 v air purifier for my apartment. I run my air purifier non-stop (for the last 6 months, which is as long as I've had the converter) using this to down convert from 220v to 110v. I've had absolutely zero issues doing so and the converter handles this perfectly. However, I'm not sure what specific disadvantages there are to doing this (like power consumption/effect on my electricity bill/toll on the converter/etc.). I've been very happy with this purchase. Depending on your outlet style, you may need an adapter plug since this converter has an American style grounded, 3-prong outlet plug. I use mine 24/7.

it comes with an ac adapter for 110 volt. i think it pulls a little too much power for low voltage.

Sorry, it is 110 VAC only. But, I would contact GQ (Guangdong Shunde Electronic Company). I would think that they make an equivalent hot air station in 220 (60 Hz?) VAC. Worth a shot.

I would thing not, it's a 110 plug and says it on back! You could probably plug into a 20 vac transformer! It will have to step it down to 110 vac!

I'm in disagreement with the other two, i think with the right cord it could be charged from a lighter or posibly a usb adaptor and cord. I wouldn't reccomend going direct because the output on the supplied charger is basically a trickle charger, 1000ma, and the lighter higher but with a little inginuity, it could be done. with the other ways you go from 12v to 120ac back to 12v.

Yes, it comes with an AC adapter and cord. Not only can it run off house current but if you use rechargeable batteries it will charge them at the same time.

It's 110... you'll need an adapter. And we use ours pretty regularly, it's still working fine.

J.Q. - I keep mine plugged in 99% of the time, use every couple days and don't anticipate needing a new battery. This is a wonderful vac - don't let a battery life that might never be an issue stop you from buying this great gadget.

You need to buy the adapter listed. I plug mine in all the time to keep things cool Here is the link Koolatron Multi-Purpose Adapter 110AC to 12 Volts DC ( Model AC-16)
