The USB tower gets its power from the USB port. It has no battery, AND it stay "alive" all the time (unlike the old serial tower that timed out to save battery life). The only problems I've read about in the sdk package about using the USB tower on (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics)
