You can purchase power adapters from Radio Shack or online suppliers that convert house current (115 V AC) to low-voltage direct current. If your clock uses two AA batteries, you need a 3 V DC adapter, since each battery produces 1.5 volts. If the clock uses only one AA battery, you need a 1.5 V DC power adapter or a universal adapter that can be set to 1.5 V. You then need to cut off the connector on the DC end so you have unterminated wires to attach to the clock. Have the store mark which wire is positive and which is negative, or determine the polarity with a voltmeter. You then will connect those two wire ends to the positive and negative battery contacts, matching the polarity. Likely the only way you will be able to make those connections is by soldering the stripped wire ends to the battery contacts. If any wiring could make improper contact with other wires or metal, insulate it by wrapping with a little electrical tape. Notch the battery-compartment door so the wires can comfortably exit the clock. Now you have supplied the necessary DC voltage to the clock. (Of course, do notput batteries back in the clock, now that it's powered from the AC-DC adapter.) You will no longer have to change batteries; but remember, every time you have a power outage, the clock will lose time or reset.

What kind of energy is in a battery operated clock?
A battery-operated clock primarily contains chemical energy stored in its batteries. When the clock is powered on, this chemical energy is converted into electrical energy, which powers the clock's components, including the movement of the hands and the electronic display. This conversion allows the clock to function accurately and consistently without the need for an external power source.

Why some things need mains electricity and others need battery?
Portable devices that do not consume large amounts of power can be run on batteries. Some battery powered devices can also be powered by mains - running a 'battery eliminator' - to save from having to purchase batteries. Devices that consume large amounts of power are usually best powered by mains.

Why do you need to keep battery powered radio on hand during typhoons?
Because of emergency broadcasts by government departments. If you rely solely on mains-powered equipment, it may fail due to a power cut. battery-powered equipment is independent of the mains.
