Not sure if it has been stated already, but if I were to purchase the Alpha Ultralite would I buy the DART LV or the regular 6V DART, or is it compatible for both?
Thanks
You want the LV. The Ultra and Ultralite both have single 3.7 Volt batteries for LV use. The TV based Revolution can use the 6 Volt versions with two RCR123As or a LV unit if you run a single 17670 (3.7) battery.
As explained to me, TV makes LV products to run on 3.7 Volts and high power stuff (like TV and original Revolution) that run on 6.0. Nothing else. They make no products for 7.4 Volts.
BTW, I know nobody asked (and even fewer care) but if I was only buying a Revolution I'd go for the LV version, I think the batteries are longer lived and easier to deal with. However, in combination with the TV (IMO a great machine) and for a guy with Omicrons or other 3.7 Volt stuff it's not so easy a choice. If I was confident I wasn't going to screw up and put at LR cart on the Revolution body with the wrong (six Volt) batteries in it, I'd go with LR so I could use in (with an adapter) on my other batteries.
Can somebody clear up what the difference is between the Alpha Ultra and the Alpha Ultralight?

Sorry, just looked further down on their descriptions (hate white on black pages) and saw the dimensions. Also noted battery differences.
Are the batteries interchangeable?
Not with each other, but when the one you're using goes flat, you remove it and replace it with a charged one of the same type (or recharge that one and return it). Is that the answer?
