you don't really need it, however. these batterys last a long long time . think they are the best on a hand held ive ever used.
You can buy spare lithium ion batteries. Go wild if you like. Way better then AA. (more power, lighter, use up less space and reusable saving the environment)

Has anyone programmed these yet? I know there are videos on YouTube about it but I seem to be having an issue that’s not in the video.
