    I sold my Poly 800mkII years ago, and I could have swore it had a way to 
run off battery's, but evidently not.  The reason I thought was because it 
have knobs to hook a strap to and you could play it like a keytar.    Also, 
when I took my CZ1000 out to play it, the battery's had corroded, and I 
think one of the reasons it doesn't work anymore is because the battery's 
leaked into the case.
