The PZ-1900 has a battery compartment as well as the power adapter. Are the batteries a true "backup", or are they merely an alternate power supply?

I only use the AC adapter, but I know the battery is an alternate power source so it would make sense to me that the battery would serve as a backup in the event of a power outage if you also use the AC adapter.

Yes there is a battery backup!!! You might have to put the battery's in it.

It is dual power - AA battery can stay in the tube while it runs off phantom power, or no battery and phantom power. Just be sure your board or recording gear can supply phantom power, and that you use a good quality XLR to XLR cable to connect. I've read reports of somewhat degraded quality when using XLR to unbalanced plug (1/4" phone for example), and that will not, of course, supply phantom power.

Not sure what you mean by that, but it has an adapter that plugs into a regular wall outlet, and it comes with the machine. There's nothing extra to buy, and if you have regular wall outlets in your home or apartment, you should be good to go. It does not have a battery backup, though, in case that's what you meant. Wall current only, no batteries.

Hello Todd,The same adapter is used, so no issues there. The battery is as expected; works as it should.

There is a battery compartment back there. I bought the adapter to plug in. in

Correct. Either you use 9v battery or get a separate power adapter. I bought a Haley Benton power station to feed all my pedalboard.

There is a 9 volt battery compartment in this unit. This is a hard wired unit, the battery is just for backup.

The Kit I ordered for my EOS Rebel T3i contained a Power 2000 DC Coupler and a Power 2000 AC Adapter. Using these two items means that I do not have to worry about running down the battery when I need extended use of a power supply. In short what it does is take 110VAC that the adapter converts to DC and then through a connector that is matched to the terminal strip on the camera where the battery would be. In short ,it replaces the battery with a DC supply that does not run down in extended use. Of course, you must provide the 110 volts for the adapter through a power cord connector that matches the plug where you battery is located. You can purchase a "cheapie" but I would not advise it! Further, if you purchase through Amazon, if the item does not suit what you need, you can return it to Amazon for credit minus the Shipping costs!

Mine came from MZ Outlet. It's a piece of crap that holds charge 1/2 the time my 2 yr old battery does. Buyer beware.

No. You'd need the PB180's big brother the PB360 which I also have. It charges batteries and has many other features. A little less portable but very compact.

This does not have battery backup and there is no way to hook it up as this unit has an AC motor. If you want battery backup then you want to look at the 8550 belt drive or an 8360 chain drive. The chamberlain WD962KEV is the full equivalent to the 8550 and comes with a replacement rail assembly. None of the LiftMaster units on Amazon come with the rail assembly.

Yes, it will run quite a long time on just the batteries (I haven't plugged mine in for a couple of months). When it is plugged in, the battery serves only as a backup, so it doesn't run down the battery power if you have the adapter. The adapter isn't technically necessary if you are happy replacing the batteries when they run out, but I like having it to save the batteries when I'm just keeping it in one place.

The unit does use batteries for backup or operation, however, an AC adaptor is furnished and normally used.

The company where I bought mine sold the power adapter as an accessory. However, I rarely have to replace batteries, and I use the My Weigh almost daily.

It's all ready to go straight from the box BUT ... I would recommend buying a separate power adapter or else buy a BUNCH of 9V batteries, because this device drains 9V batteries pretty fast.

Correct it is electric, and there is a compartment located on the underside that takes two AA batteries for backup.
