Buyers outside the USA BEWARE. This product, as supplied for the USA market, operates on a 120V AC supply. If you plug this device into any other type of supply (for instance, the 230V UK or European supply), it will be destroyed.

It runs on batteries. You can plug in a 12V power source of your choosing. I use a universal power adapter that came with several plugs and found one that fits nicely.

It's battery operated and runs on 4 AA batteries. You can use an AC adapter but it would have to be 6V.

It appears from the pictures of the product that it is AC powered and it didn't look like it could accept batteries however, it may be able to be powered by USB as it also has a USB input.

It's battery powered. And it works great especially when playing recorded C.D.'s. Which was why I got one.

The power source is 3 AA batteries. No AC plug. Don't bother buying it, tho - it was a piece of garbage. not enough air flow to actually play. we used it once and were done.

Hi jody it is powered by both,the ac plug adapter and then the battery for backup.only thing though the battery keeps falling out when moved to fill so I finally just taped it and that holds it in but wasn't happy for the price that is has that flaw.

It is not battery powered. It must be plugged into AC at all times. I suppose if you were really motivated, you could make a DC power supply from a car battery or two, and a DC to DC converter, but that's beyond the scope of this reply :-).

The power source is 120 VAC. There is no provision on the device for powering it with DC/Battery.

It comes with it's own power supply and plug. This item does not use batteries.

Comes with its own power supply. It has a 110 AC household plug. The cord is a little short but I had no problems making it work.

it requires a DC power source. If you want to use AC power you will have to convert it to DC.

It does not take batteries, only AC power. I think portable refers the tiny size of it.

It does not use any battery. It connects to your source and the power is derived from your source i think.

This device does not utilize batteries. It must be plugged into an extension cord from a normal household outlet while in use.

It is powered by a 110/120 volt A/C cord. No problems so far with many uses.

Same question twice...It uses both battery and corded power...it's small, though. I sent mine back.
