Most late era devices shipped with this battery case. Most devices come with a basic sidecar. Some ship with a sidecar that has a DC Charge port. There seem to be at least two versions of it, one rated for 1.5v in (MZ-E900), and the other for 3v in(MZ-N10). Using a charger with this sidecar may cause issues with some devices they didn't ship with. Manual specifies multiple times they are only intended for use with their matching device.

Battery: 1x AA

The sidecar itself also houses a 1000uF capacitor in-line with the terminals, which is speculated to help reduce battery-related spontaneous shutdowns while jostling the device, such as while exercising or dancing.
