Battery Powered Digital Picture Frame

Do you have to use the power adapter that comes with those digital Picture Frames?
I just bought 1 of those kodak digital Picture Frames and I was wondering if you can charge up the battery and not have to use the adapter. Or do you have to leave it plugged up to view. That seems like a hassle. I bougt this as a christmas gift and have not tried it out yet.
Well, you will have to charge it from time to time. LCD’s use a lot of power, so the battery will not last long. The most successful use is to put the frame on a desk and plug in the power adapter
