Just wondering if anyone has a pic of what the optional battery will look like, preferably including the size and how it attaches?
Thanks,
Tom

I don't have a picture handy, but the battery is made of 10 AA-sized cells, wrapped together, with short cable coming off of it.
The battery installs behind a door on the bottom of the unit, so once installed, it's not visible.

Thanks Dean - that's great news as I had assumed it attached to the outside (such as sitting beneath the base) somehow. Once installed in the unit is it automatically charged when attached to the mains? Or does the battery have to be removed to be charged? Appreciate that it might seem a silly question, but I wanted to be sure.

The Radio is the charger when attached to AC mains. The battery stays installed and connected to the Radio whether attached to AC mains or not.

Yes, it's automatically charged when the mains adaptor is connected.
