Look at this website www.walkabouttravelgear.com You can buy a small plug power convertor to match your needs overseas. I hope this helps.

Yes, I just came back from Zambia in Africa and I used it on several flights which did not have power outlets.

I wish I could help with that question. I know that we own a kit for power adapters when we travel. Perhaps you could look in to that.

No I purchased the batteries extra, the charger and extra batteries really helped me finish with power left over. Just about all of my tools use the 20V lithium B&D; battery.

Store at at least 1/2 charge. Lithium batteries do not store well when depleted.

As of Feb, 2015 FAA rules permit airline passengers to carry devices containing Lithium Ion batteries in both carry-on baggage and in checked baggage. BUT, spare (uninstalled) lithium batteries are not allowed in checked luggage. They are allowed in carry-on baggage. The batteries must be properly packed to prevent damage and short circuiting. The FAA considers external battery chargers to be spare or uninstalled batteries. Note that FAA rules govern travel within the U.S.. If you are traveling outside the U.S., my guess is that you'll have to check the rules for each country you plan to visit. See faa.gov and airsafe.com sites for more information.

The real answer is yes. It will but how long is the question. without a device the power draw will be small, a few milliamps, it'll take a few months for most batteries. with a device attached, quite a bit sooner. hours, days or weeks, all depends on the draw from the device, and the size of your battery. be safe, unplug. and trickle charge if it's going to be more then a few days.

I never traveled with it I had just used mine at home. It comes with a carrying bag and you can plug it into an outlet, but as far as a battery pack no it doesn't come with one.

Certainly. I always use NiMH batteries in mine. I carry an extra Monkeylight 3 battery holder loaded in my seat bag and if they start to get low I just pop the whole thing in and put the others in the charger when I get home. I just went from singles to doubles plugged into one battery pack and it has a much better effect. I would hate to throw away so many alkaline batteries.

No. I tried the same thing. But there is circuitry to prevent overcharging which would damage your batteries that is missing in the circuit.

It does not take batteries. I have a power converter in my car, and I have plugged it into that to use while traveling, but it really is not meant to be terribly portable.

I'm not sure. We never packed one because we just thought we'd buy more batteries on vacation.

Yes, it is. Most airlines allow you to carry up to two of this size batteries with you (please check with your airline to make sure). However, please note that airlines do not allow lithium ion batteries on checked in languages. Best regards.

Yes you can use rechargeable batteries but they won't last as long as the lithium

Hi Cynthia, A battery pack can be used. If the electric is out for less than an hour, it probably won't matter. DON'T open the lid during that time... What you want to search is "uninterruptible power supply," or UPS
