The best artificial Christmas tree without cord runs its lights from a battery box, so it can sit on a windowsill, porch table or hallway corner with no outlet nearby and no extension cord across the floor. Most of these six picks add a timer so the batteries last longer.

Picks are based on listing details, following our editorial policy. See our main best artificial Christmas tree guide for plug-in trees.
