Does this need a COMMON wire? If not, how long do the AA batteries last? Does it write all settings to PROM?

This does not require a common wire. You can wire it that way if you like. I've noticed that the AA batteries have lasted as long as I've had the product. And that has been over 7 months. I've noticed the time is starting to fall behind a little so it may need new batteries soon. So I would say around 6 months for sure.

Rick, I've run this camera all day on track day sessions on a single charge of the batteries - never needed to fool with wiring it in. I suppose you could wire an adapter to power it with a usb, but not sure you need to.

being that I don't have the device with me, I can tell you how I used it. I only used it with the wire. If the description says that you can use batteries then I assume that you can use rechargeable batteries as well. It did not come with batteries.

I have only put batteries in it when I first got it. I think it takes AA but not 100% sure it has been awhile since I got it. I did notice yesterday it was little slower so need to replace I am sure. Sorry could not be of more help. Melanie

Not regular AA batteries. It comes with an adaptor, if I am not mistaken, for 3 AAA batteries.

It takes batteries and the phones have to be close enough to pick up the signal. My phone says it has to be in the cradle to look at photos and talk, but it is completely wireless with batteries. I can't remember if it is AA or AAA but you can look on the manufacturers site to find that out.

They both have batteries. My transmitter battery went dead a couple times, but I never had a low battery message, just blank displays. I operate the receiver on a/c so never had dead batteries there. LT

4 AA Batteries is a total of 6 Volts. These only require about 3V. So you only need two AA batteries - just wired in parallel. Google 'LEDs in Parallel' for the basics on how to do that. If you absolutely must have them wired in series, then you need 2 AA batteries for each LED. In your case 6 to 8 AAs. Or you can use a 9V battery (the square ones) which will light 3 on its own. :)

Yup, 4 AAs just like the previous models. You can use your preferred type of battery of course , but that's the size. Side note/update that I may post later: You are paying big bucks for only a little bit more power and recycle time and built in radio transmitter. If you really know how to make the most of your flash, you can get the same results using much cheaper flashes. Worthwhile reference: Scott Robert Lim courses.Sorry, prob more info than you asked for!

No. It must have some type of cmos battery because mine hasn't lost it's programing. But this was way more than I needed- I bought it because could control upto 12 dmx lights- I have 7

Pos battery, neg battery, no remote wire used in this application. Use your radio output to speaker as your input on the amp an the output on the amp for your speakers. Turns on and off when the radio is on and off. Very simple

Unfortunately the design of this camera doesn't allow to put AA batteries instead of Lithium Ion Camera Battery For Sony (acumulator battery), which is included in the set. However I don't have any problems with it. Usually fully charged original acumulator battery is sufficient for one day shooting. My own acumulator battery is working well for more than couple of years since I bought this particular Sony camera.

The one I bought took four wires, and it also had assy. schematic, Its also good idea to take pictures with cell phone camera or other.

Yes. It uses a AA battery for electronic ignition which is easily replaced. My first battery lasted almost a year.

A wireless USB receiver. I think it included some second rate AA batteries but if it did, they didn't last long.
