Does this run on batteries or does it need to be plugged in?

The speaker comes with a DC jack that you plug into the speaker to charge. A charge lasts about 30 hours. I have only used it for showers and it has lasted me a month so far.

The unit charges through a wall charger. There is no slit for batteries. My wall charger did not fit the slit so I could not use the unit. Sent back for refund

It works like a cell phone-- you charge it up, and then use it. There are no replaceable batteries, but it does not (and should not) get plugged in while you are using it in the shower.

Does not use batteries, you have to have it plugged into the electric outlet all the time.

This unit MUST be plugged in to operate. Unfortunately it does NOT contain a standalone battery.

It has to be plugged in either to the wall or to your computer. There is no battery that can be charged to use it unplugged.

It always need to be plugged! the device does not have an internal battery, but it works great!

Yes it is battery operated but the batteries seem to last quite a while. I'm pretty sure that you can plug it in too, if you have the right cord (not included) but that would not be that convenient if using outside.

It's designed to be plugged in. I think it has a battery but it's only for when the power goes out.

It's battery operated. You need to change the batteries eveery few months (about 6 months), but it has not been an issue.

No it does not run on batteries. It has to be connected to an ipod cord or dock.

No, it does not require batteries. Just plug it in. It has a nice storage area for the cord underneath also.

No, it needs to be plugged in. However, you can put it on a built in timer so that it is not always using electricity. This is a purchase that holds NO regrets for me. Use it everyday and bought one for our daughters with small children who say that it is invaluable for heating food quickly, warming baby bottles, etc.

Short answer: yes, it has to be plugged in always. There are no rechargeable or standard batteries in this device. This is seems not to be intended to be carried around. It should stay in the shelf or on the table. Hope this helps. cv

The camera itself needs to be plugged in. But the monitor can run on battery power, mine has lasted around 10 hours before we needed to plug it in.

You plug it in. I works pretty well. It has better power than the battery operated kind.

Not battery powered. Has a transformer that plugs into 120VAC. The transformer output is low voltage AC.

This runs off of a low voltage transformer that plugs into an outlet. AC power... this won't run off batteries.
