The 120V outlet is not a 120V outlet. It's a Classmate power adapter. Guess what can't be plugged into the Classmate power adapter?

Yep, anything other than the Classmate.

I don't remember seeing any Q&As or rules about another battery powering stuff on the operator console; that may be because nobody's asked, or it may be that my memory is going bad.
