Does the fountain need to stay plugged in, and how long does the battery last?

No, the fountain does not need to stay plugged in for sensor or timed modes. Its rechargeable battery supports cordless use for up to 60 days on a full charge, depending on the selected mode, activation frequency, and everyday usage.

Continuous flow mode requires plug-in power. Choose sensor or timed mode when you want to use the fountain without a power cord.

Battery runtime is separate from the water supply. Check the water level regularly and refill with fresh drinking water as needed.
