No, touchless faucets generally cannot operate without batteries or an alternative power source. Most touchless faucets are designed to use a sensor to detect hand movements, which requires electrical power to function. While most models run on batteries, some can be connected to the building's electrical system through power adapters. If your concern is about dependency on batteries, opting for a model that supports an AC adapter can provide a constant power supply, eliminating the need for batteries altogether.
