Do they need to be plugged all time? I'm looking for a kit I can take to outdoor locations.

Unfortunately they DO need to be plugged in all the time in order to be used. For outdoor use you will need a portable power source. I recommend Paul C Buff's Vagabond Mini Lithium portable power. It's light weight, easy to carry and it costs less than $250.

They do require 120 volt ac. I would guess you could find a power inverter that could allow you to be more mobile.

Yes, as long as you use them once a month or more. Mine are working fine and that is what I do. When they are not in use during off seasons, you must unplug them from the charger and store them.

You need to be able to plug them into a wall socket of some sort. They are electrical.

Hello John. The speakers have a standard, stereo, micro-plug. Yes they need to be plugged into household current and are equipped with the necessary power converter.

Yes it has to be plugged in. I use a multi plug and then plug that into an outside outlet. It works beautifully after 2 years. I love it. So do the birds!

Yes, this is an electric unit that needs to be plugged in for the entire time it's being used.

I believe so. The directions say they can even be used outside if protected from the weather. These units are both a charger and a charge maintainer for both 6 & 12 volt batteries.

I have never needed to charge the by plugging them in. I think they work off of both, bu I am not certain on that. I just place the lights in direct sunlight or if it is cloudy just set them outside to recharge them. This always works for me. Hope this helps.

They require an electric connection. I believe they MAY be able to run off a heavy duty 12 volt rechargeable battery, but I have not done it that way.

Yes---I looked to make sure. You must use the rechargeable type. We have had our sets for several years and have never had to replace them.

No they run on house current and work just great. I take them with me camping and on all trips. I do like to let them run through 2 cycles, that seems to help me more.

They do need to be plugged in. I suppose that is what allows the phone's battery to recharge.

I've kept mine on the charger without any issue. I prefer to keep them plugged in so I have them in case of emergency. Only had them a few weeks or so.

I leave mine plugged in and on 24/7 from October through April! They're fantastic.

I never unplug any of mine. They have been plugged in since I installed the unit.
