You are right, I talked to Access Solutions and they told me it's no problem using the TripleTalk without a battery.

There shouldn't be any reason why you can't take the battery out of your
tripple talk.  I have a dec-talk express whose battery has been dead for a
long time.  If it got unpluged, it would make this motorboating noise.
Everybody said you had to have a battery in there.  Well, I sent mine to get
worked on, and it no longer has a battery in it, and it works just fine.

The battery in my tripple talk will run the synthesizer for a little
while, but then, after no power from the usb connection for about 4 or
so hours, it begins to make noise! :)
If our power goes off during the night, I get a rude awakening from my
wife, I guarantee!
Tempting to take out the battery because who knows whether or not it may
leak? or corrode? causing other issues.

because turning it off with a power strip only turns off the battery charger.
the battery would stay on until it completely drains.

Why wouldn't the battery turn off if you turned everything off with the
power strip?  Pam.

I also use a power strip to turn off all the equipment but the Double
Talk had a hard wired builtin battery whichneeded to be turned off at
the unit.  This, over time, stuffed it up.
