So basically without a USB connection, or electricity for that matter you would be SOL after 80 cycles, correct?

Hi there, D. Noble! As all CamelBak products, this one is also very reliable and made to last. A fully charged All Clear™ will last around 80 cycles, each cycle will provide you around 600ml. 600*80/100 = 48L per charge. If you go camping, well... let's say you can get a decent amount of purified water in one charge. The All Clear™ also features one accessory, a pre-filter which really mades the difference when getting water from rivers or streams with high amounts of sediment. Hope you make the right choice!

Yes. I have been using mine like I use my laptop - just plug it back in no matter how much has been discharged.

Not require any battery, because the SW take the his power supply from 120 volts AC

No, the USB charges the battery and it won't work w/o battery. Although you can work with it while charging, but it is recommended not to do so, to increase the life of your battery.

I leave mine plugged in without batteries with no ill effects so far. But am concerned about power surgesrecently. They have reset my computer even with line conditioning and battery backup. Prob. from on/off/on cycle.

Probably, since it plugs into the usb port of your computer and nothing else (no external power supply needed)

I would not be concerned as much about the system resources used as much as the power drawn. They pull ~500 mA each which can be a concern if your laptop has other usb devices plugged in as well. In my experience my old macbook couldn't handle the power consumption. I would suggest using a powered usb hub if you want to run from your laptop.

No. It gets its power supply from the raspberry itself. No need for external power

No, you don't need it. It works with the power suministrated by the usb cable taken from the PC, Laptop, iPad or iPhone.

No, you need the USB. But if you have something that could connect the USB to a outlet you can go that.

You can use the device without the solar panels connected. The panels are just used to charge the device.

Yes, but in my experience, it drops down to USB 2.0 speeds if you don't use an external power source. (Haven't tried it with a power source)

Experimentation tells me that the answer is NO. My experience with bus powered USB hubs has been problematic. Commonly you get a "power fault" on one or more of the devices involved and restoration is very difficult without rebooting (ugh).

This unit is powered by the USB connector on your computer. No external power supply.

It dumps the message as soon as the USB is removed. When your computer sleeps it dumps the messages. If you just let it run on the battery it's fine. Until They Completely discharge.

Yes but you'll still need an external power source. I always plug in with USB.

No external power required. Only needs a USB port with enough power. Most standard USB 3 ports should be adequate.
