Yes, you absolutely can get a toy crane machine that operates on batteries instead of a power cord! These fantastic cordless versions offer incredible portability and convenience. Unlike traditional arcade-style cranes that need to be plugged in, battery-powered claw machines give you the freedom to play anywhere – in the playroom, backyard, or even during road trips. They typically use standard AA or C batteries, with some models featuring rechargeable battery packs for eco-friendly operation. While they might be slightly smaller than their corded counterparts, they deliver the same exciting claw-grabbing action. This makes them perfect for children's birthday parties, indoor entertainment, and families who prefer not to have cords running across their floors. When selecting one, check the battery life and consider having spare batteries ready for uninterrupted fun. The cordless design eliminates tripping hazards and provides greater flexibility in placement. So if you're looking for toy crane excitement without being tethered to an outlet, battery-operated models are definitely the way to go!
