Not that I know of, I am pretty sure they only use their specific battery and charger.

Not that I'm aware of. The lithium batteries have lasted me over 12-14 hrs standby and talk. Haven't needed an alternative.

No, you'll need to supply the D cell batteries. I use mine for work and a good set of Duracell/Energizer batteries are still going strong 1.5 years after.

HiNo, it doesn't have battery backup system, I think you can use a battery convertor to convert 12v DC to 110 AC, I have such a device and haven't try it yet, will try this weekend.

Yes, you can. Though if you google the subject, you will find that some users report it does not boost the battery on the v3 as well as it did on the v2. Perhaps the battery does not have as much capacity as the newer one?The advantage that I find is, the battery can come out of the bacpac. With the v3 its all one unit. You can get some of the Wasabi batteries here on amazon for a great price and they get very good reviews. Then you can have multiple batteries and use the bacpac as a standalone charger. This way you can be recharging one battery while using another.

Yes you can, however I have been having trouble with these batteries not being identified by my camera. Not sure why, they charge fine and camera starts but then says is not recognized do you want to continue? Right now not pleased with them. This just started occurring after about a month of having them.

Yes but they're often dead, but at least you can go to any place that sells batteries like it and buy them in packs of 3 for like 6 bucks.

You shouldn't have to have a backup battery. These batteries last a long time. And you only need one if you have the phone service

Yes you can but not advised. It will go down to a trickle charge when batteries are fully charged. ok

We use AA batteries in it, but only while the regular batteries are charging. As others have stated, the AA batteries are rapidly depleted, so are really only worthwhile as backup.

The manual says if you connect the "C" terminal, it will only use the batteries for backup.

Yes you can. I bought 2 for my boys and they are just a year old now and work great still on the original battery pack they came with.

Thank you for your question! The battery backup is optional, but if you would like to use this feature, 8 AA alkaline batteries would be needed.

I believe you're talking about the little demo batteries, which are not replaced with anything. You only need your 3 large batteries in that unit. Hope this helps.

3AA batteries which are included. This information is in the description already.

Yes you can. I do it all of the time. Note that both batteries will top out at 80% and not 100% when using this method.
