battery powered
Runs on cells
Battery powered describes devices that run on stored electrical energy from batteries rather than being plugged into an outlet: a battery powered flashlight, battery powered tools.
The term emphasizes portability and independence from wall current.
Also written battery-powered or as the single word batterypowered, though the hyphenated form is standard when used before a noun.
