Current draw on these things is almost nil  during standby, and also very 
low while  it is speaking.  LDG recommends a supply of 200 ma, which isn't 
very much.  If the wall wart isn't included with your unit, it will come 
with   a cord with dc plug at one end and bare wires at the other.   You can 
easily power both units from any old wall  wart or 12 v supply you may have 
laying around without having to buy the "official" and no doubt over priced 
wall warts.
