can I have a spare battery so a I can use it while the other is charging?

No. It comes with an adapter for the the built in rechargeable battery & you can play it while it's being recharged.

You can't, because the rechargeable battery is built into the unit and isn't designed to be removed by the consumer. I find the battery lasts around 3-4 hours on a full charge.

Yes. I don't know if charging time is longer when both are connected though.

I was also hoping to keep a spare battery on hand. Looks like it's a permanent battery. Two issues bad about that is: you can NOT charge one while the other is in use and once the battery no longer holds a charge, the unit is useless. Did I miss this information (permanent battery not replaceable) somewhere in the product description?

The unit comes with a spare battery in its designated space. If you charge both batteries and leave the charger out there is plenty of extra storage space for accessories. I often work far from electrical sources and find that two batteries is good for the day's work. I did not price the items separately, but as a general rule extra batteries are fairly expensive.

I can't say for sure, but my guess is no - the battery portion does not disengage from the charging unit, so I don't think there would be any way to connect the two.

No Its nice to have two. You have one charged while using the other one to race. You could check out Li po battery for longer run time.

The battery will be dead until you charge it, but the grip takes power from both batteries at the same time, so you wouldn't have a situation where one is dead and the other is not unless there was something wrong with the battery.

Yep...I always do when it gets down to about 10-15%...you can also charge the other battery in the wall charger and plug another device into the charger through USB and charge that one as well. These batteries hold their charge well.

No. It can not be charging and used at same time. It holds a charge for almost 8 hrs of continued use.

We had an older version, so we were able to use the same charger. We also purchased a second and a second battery.

You can but it ruins the battery. The battery will become dependent on the constant charge and will weaken.

yes, but it is a slow charger, so you may want to get a faster one, or a second battery, or both.

Sure you can do that, but I do not have battery for sale right now. Thank you

I agree with Matt. I would also recommend a second battery so that when the first is charging, you will still be able to shoot photos or video.

Yes, it will just take twice as along if both batteries are in the same state of discharge. Depending on how your two batteries are hooked up you may be charging both anyway.

You probably can but I doubt you would have room for both batteries. I have never tried it and never would.

You are supposed to be able to but unfortunately both pair that I purchases didn't last one a week. They won't charge the light will come on but won't start charging so I don't know. Sorry!
