I may be wrong but I think nicad batteries can be recharged while running it on the adapter. To that end you may need to be careful not to unintentionally charge your alkaline cells if running on mains power. I probably have an instruction book for it somewhere if you need info but they are pretty straightforward to use. I was always leaving mine switched on by mistake when running on batteries and running them flat so now it only gets used on mains power via the adapter, which has to supply a bit of current, as you correctly say, I think it uses quite a bit of juice.
