Maybe for smaller ones, but I've been running ours at home via the converter with batteries disconnected by a knife switch on the positive feed for some time. Works no different than when running on batteries alone. Reason I put the knife switch in is I had to replace three batteries in the past on previous TTs that overcharged and boiled close to dry before I realized what was going on. Ever since the third, I've had one of these disconnect switches and a hydrometer - once the batteries are fully charged, they get totally disconnected.
