This puppy runs on both battery and house power. The battery wires were so bad I had to replace them or risk bare wire shorts but will likely just power it with 120ac. There's a fellow who makes a battery pack for TOs but its pretty pricey at something like $150. We'll see, maybe I'll feel energetic and make something up.
Cheers,
Bob
