Roughly 15 hours until battery needs charging. The official battery pack add-on is coming soon. It will take 4X AA batteries.

Unsure of price for replacement at repair center - figure that will trickle out into the public once the repair center starts taking them in (a few years from now).

Get a Power Bank and connect it to the Charge Cable and then to the Simplex. Should work - that's what I'll be doing if I buy one and forget to give it a full charge on an outing.

No optional Nokta/Makro battery pods for the Simplex.

No optional battery pods for the Simplex. External battery supply will not power the Simplex they can only be used to recharge the Simplex battery. The Simplex circuitry does not include a switching device to allow an external battery to be used for operation. That option is only available on the other upper end models.

From the manual:

Operating with a Powerbank
You can also power and charge the battery with a powerbank. To do this, just insert one of the ends
of the cable supplied with the charger to the wired headphones / charger input socket and the other
end to the powerbank. Please note that you will not be able to attach wired headphones to the device
when a powerbank is attached to the device.
IMPORTANT! Do NOT use the detector underwater while connected to a power bank.

Sent a message to Dilek at Nokta. To clarify about the external battery pod made for the other models and about the Simplex using an external battery source to power the Simplex.

Here's a video showing that an External PowerBank will charge the Simplex and power it for use at the same time.
