Any Portable Emergency ATSC TV That Uses Regular (D or C Cell) Batteries? Or one that can be recharged from 12v DC power source?

I agree with you, someone shoud be making a product that uses batteries that can be replaced, like the old analog battery T.V. Living in Miami 100 minutes is not enuf if the electricitiy is off for days as it is in a hurricane!

I believe it is the design to merely run off a battery pack. Since it is an emergency radio, the design asumes that electricity is not available for the average radio or television thus engaging this item to usage.

It uses a single rechargeable 300mAh button cell, Varta CP300H. I have two of those emergency lights plugged in 24/7 for the last 5 years. They are still working fine, so I see no need to replace the batteries. But if you really want to, you can search for "Varta CP300H" and buy it on Amazon.

Mine did not, but you can use a USB cable to charge the batteries (rechargeable batteries only) or run the radio without batteries. I plug the USB cable into my desktop computer but I'm sure you could use many other power sources (television, laptop, hub, etc.). You plug the end of the USB into the slot on the radio labeled "DC-In 5V" (meaning 5 volts). Of course you have to find a USB cable with the proper sized plug to fit this slot. It's rather common. I use the cable that came with my Canon digital camera.

Mine came with "Foxlink" AC/DC adaptor. Input 100V~240VAC. Output 12VDC at 2.0Amp. Looks like a laptop charger. The DVR has two jacks. Input is for the power supply and a second identical jack which outputs 12VDC to supply power to an external camera. Any power supply with 12VDC @ 2.0Amps will work. Just need correct tip. Radio Shack would be first stop or electronics stores if looking for replacement.

There's PowerEx but there's been some problems with those even though many people probably are fine with them they are not really low Self Discharge batteries. I highly recommend the high capacity Eneloops but you could try the PowerEx's but i'd read the reviews first to see if you really want to get them.

Recharging with ac just means you can buy an ac wall charger that converts 120v ac to 12v dc. Essentially all batteries charge off doc current

Radio Shack or a similar electronics supply business should have the dc 9v. Never know, A super Walmart may also have it by some small miracle. Call first before running around town

Not a stand alone battery pack, has to be plugged into 120v wall outlet or H.D cord to operate.

Ours is powered by adapter. I do not remember seeing a battery compartment or directions advising us of that options. It is behind our mounted tv or I would look to confirm.

You can also get a SLA battery and plug it into the 12v input jack on the back. A 12v 7ah should give plenty of runtime. That's really the only way to go for outdoor use, in my opinion. I've powered all my portables this way for years. D cells get expensive fast and rechargeable D's don't last long in powerful systems. (as little as 2 or 3 hours in one of mine)

Audrey, I did not purchase a battery for this TV, because it is connect to a regular electric outlet. However, good TV for at least my application. Good Luck.

Since the camera is analog, with an RCA video connection, you need to have a TV->PC converter. Search "tv to pc converter" in Amazon. I'm not sure if any of these are portable - most have a dc power supply that you might be able to replace with a bank of AA batteries.

i forget the name of them but it is indeed smaller than a AAA battery. The name should be included somewhere with the paper that came w/ the presenter. I found mine at a super market. Hope this helps

The battery is built in. So, you need to plug it in to charge it. When using it on battery power alone, they say it'll last up to 3 hours. I do not think it actually lasts that long, so that is probably why someone told you 1 1/2 hours. So, if you want it for a hurricane, it needs to be fully charged via a wall socket, then, when the power is out, it'll run on that battery. So, you might be better off finding a TV that uses replaceable batteries. That way, when it runs out while your power is out due to a hurricane, you can just change the batteries.

Yes, the ST-09B runs on a battery. It is built-in, not the AA or C or D cells some earlier portable TVs use. I haven't had to remove it, but the TV has a hatch on the back and I suppose you could purchase a second pack from the manufacturer or Batteries Plus for longer than say 3 hours use. It also can run on its' AC adapter.

If in a remote area with no power available, then a solar panel and 12v battery can be used for power. Available here from Amazon.
