USB Passthru's Why do they use a battery?

[smonomo]

Just buy the ac usb converter. It's better to plug it into a wall outlet. There are many sellers that sell them or you can buy them at Radio Shack or wherever for 3-4 bucks...

Thanks Ikim65,

Something like this,
4.5V/1600mA AC-to-DC Power Adapter - RadioShack.com

Yeah that's much better, plug in anywhere....off to get one right now

Forgive me, but I just got my 510 today and am still absorbing info...

Am I correct to assume that if I had a wall charger as mentioned in previous posts, I could remove the inline batt and vape at 5V???

Somehow, having something made of metal hanging from my lips and/or fingers,
with the other end hardwired up to a wall wart powered by AC voltage/current
doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling.
(although it just might if the same thing happens to it, that happened to this passthru..)
I'd feel 'safer' using my batteries to vape with, and my AC devices for charging ONLY.

It's more than just removing the battery since that would break the circuit. The passthrough would have to be rewired so that the circuit no longer had the battery in it.
