That depends on whether it's a full docking station or a port replicator.

Full docks are hard to find these days. Port replicators are powered by the PC.

My Dell laptop has a hybrid. It's not a full doc and still needs a power supply.

Either way, it will not use batteries. Expect that you'll need to plug it in. The intent is that it actas as a fixture on your desk so that you don't need to plug all your cables in and out all the time. It's not intended to be moved around. When docked the laptop will be charged off the docks power.

You have to plug it in. Preferable directly into a wall socket not an extension.
