Where does it draw power from? Does it have to be permanently connected or does it have a battery?

I have a lilygo T-Display (which costs less than a 10th of the Busy Status Bar), but I intended to use it untethered and freely movable on the desk. Sadly the battery life is so bad that I basically have to leave it plugged in all the time.

Since it's not mentioned in text, extrapolating from the photos (sometimes it's connected with a cable, sometimes not) I'd have to assume it has a battery.

On the image which shows the back screen, you can also see a battery icon in the lower right, so that's a very safe bet.
