The 9 volt battery pack is awful to work with. It is very hard to get the battery set in correctly.
If it is defective, they should replace it, but I'd spend the money on the 12 volt battery pack if you want to not have to be near an outlet. If you will mostly be using it near an electrical outlet, I'd go with the AC adapter. This is why I always recommend people go for the Power Bundle directly from standscan.com as you get the 12 volt battery pack and the AC adapter for a very good price. I think the last I checked it was $38.95 or $37.95 for the power bundle.

However, I am having issues with the battery pack and was curious if anyone else has had this issue or if yours seems to work fine. Sadly, it could be that I am simply doing something wrong that is really obvious:)! Whenever I put a 9v battery into the pack, it does not want to close if a battery is inside of it, nor does the battery want to hook into place like it normally would in most devices using this type of battery. The pack closes perfectly if no battery is in side. Also, I noticed the following. If the pack is held up so that the switch is at the top and the opening is facing you, the right side battery connection is loose, is this the case for others here? This one may be defective. If so, I am assuming, that you can purchase just a replacement battery pack, correct? Have a great day all! Chris Christine M.
