Does the Indoor Weather Station unit still have the option for both battery (and USB) power or is it now USB only?...

Primary is plugged into a outlet, and the secondary purchased units for additional rooms, are battery only.

I only see a USB connection. It can also be charged by the crank or by solar. Solar is being reported as weak, but ours is in the window all day long, so we have significantly more power in ours. The battery is a CR 123A. The crank works well and it is pretty sturdy.

Yes, the USB is just to power the device. Each unit has it's own seperate wire with a thermometer so as long as the two temp readings are relatively close it will work as you need. Hope this helps!

No, power goes into the unit, not out of it. The "USB input" on this device is for power only, it is "micro-usb."

No USB port. It's very simple... just 1 cable that goes from the chill mat to a USB port in your computer. Sorry, I'm not sure about battery power. I use my laptop at home, so it's always plugged in.

Hi, As per the user instructions, "This unit contains a built-in, non-replaceable, rechargeable battery to maintain the date and time of day information for at least 4 consecutive days of AC power interruption. The other settings are maintained indefinitely without AC power." Hope this helps.

The unit is battery operated and requires a USB connection to download the gathered data. However, I had to return the unit to the manufacturer since it failed very soon after I had it (about a week).

I'm able to operate it with one USB connection. (I don't have the unit on me right now, but I believe the included USB cable also allows you to plug into an additional USB port for more power if one isn't sufficient for you.)

Oh, power options are rechargeable batteries or 3 AA batteries. I have not tried charging from the pc usb port yet.

in this picture the USB Port on the left is 2.1Amp and the one on the right is 1amp. The small micro usb port is for no-solar recharging of the unit, but I'm sorry to say my unit has stop recharging, either by solar or the micro usb.

I hit the return too quickly. The unit is not portable as it is powered by the USB cable, not batteries. You can get a USB to AC power connector. The cable is not very long, but at least it that way it won't be tied to a computer.

from what I understand, it now includes a USB cable to power the device, previous versions included a power adapter. I wish there are more details on what else has been upgraded. (if there are other stuff that is)

The unit is actually powered by a USB which comes with it. It's very easy to use. You just plug one end of the USB into the unit and the other into the netbook

only the indoor unit is powered...either by battery or 6Vdc power supply. the outdoor unit only has the single pair (3mm plug?)

No. The indoor units are additional, secondary transmitters that talk to the primary indoor unit provided in the Weather Station kit. The primary unit is needed to report the information over the Internet. The secondary units cannot do this.

I returned mine. Only a solar panel, not a charging unit. Nothing else included. It didn't charge anything even using my own usb cable.

Only two wires red and black (bare ends) needed to connect to power source. My old Nuvi used a USB interface on the other end to connect to GPS, terrible and eventually led to failure. The Zumo & bracket have just two power contact points for power and ultra simple click on/off. The separate USB interface is needed only when connecting to PC for downloading tracks and uploading routes. Love the "Curvy Road" routing option (as opposed to Fastest/Shortest)! Also, finally a screen visible in bright light.
