Does this need to be plugged in at all times? or is there a rechargeable battery within?

Always plug in due to no battery. The Logitech can be had with a backup battery and is therefore portable. Factory took back my third soundworks radio as it could not keep a decent internet connection, would not turn on, etc.

This radio does not have battery backup. If you have the radio set to get the time from the internet and you have wifi signal (or you are using Ethernet) the radio will automatically keep the time. If you unplug the radio or the electricity goes off, the radio will have to reset the time, date and so on. The radio will reboot and do it's setup thing when the power comes back on.

This is a wall powered WiFi internet, bluetooth, broadcast radio with great sound quality. If you are looking for a battery/rechargable bluetooth speaker I would suggest their new The OontZ 11 speaker, the specs look impressive and they stand behind their products.

There's a rechargable battery. It lasts a long time. I think it says 10 hours.

No, you don't need to plug it in, it comes with a battery, that is how the light is on.

You can plug it in to recharge it, and I have used it while plugged in. I believe the instructions say not to do that, but it works.

no. But I have mine plugged in beside my chair. Just turn it on when needed. I have never put batteries in. If you travel you might want the battery option.

It needs to be plugged in. The cord is about a foot long so really not portable.

Yes, this switch does need to be plugged in. There is no on/off switch so it is always on unless you unplug it from the wall. It is a high quality switch. I did a review and gave it 5 stars.

You can plug it in and/or use batteries. Battery life is quick with much use, so we keep ours plugged in.
