One guy is selling battery grip, charger and battery for $345, only one. I checked photo dealers, ebay, craig's list. Problem is, even if I found a OEM battery, how much life would be left in it? Only supposed to be good for 4-5 years.
Can it be run without the grip ? I'm assuming it's like the add-on grip I had for my 5D . Any chance of converting it to use AA's with parts from a non gripped donor?

Sure you can, but why not learn to be better especially when you are clearly showing lack of knowledge about certain things? You also contradict yourself in many posts.

Anyway, you clearly have no desire to learn here so I won't be wasting more time on you. Good luck on your chosen path.

Oh whatever dude. It’s my damm camera and I shoot in whatever resolution I want to shoot in!!!! Dam it!!!

My camera is still new (at least I think so, even though I've been using her for a year and a half now) and she's also black, too, and I have some black lenses but I also have a couple which are really BIG and LONG and greyish white..... They get me pretty pictures of birds reasonably up close.

The online manual which is provided for my camera is big, too. And so are the manuals which come with my various lenses.

My camera is new.
My camera is old. It doesn't take floppy disk but when I put in a 256MB SD Card and set it to 5MP, the number stays at 9999 on the number of photos I can take. I use an SD Card reader because I haven't read the manual on how to plug it in. What size is your memory card?

There's an HDMI port too. Can I use a VCR and transfer video to cassette tapes? I don't use film anymore btw, those are obsolete. Why do they still sell them? Which film do you buy? Are megapixels more important than sensors? I think sensors are more important sometimes I put my 24MP camera down to 5 or 10.

Post photos of your cat!

I’m not sure what you mean by this. Sensors are made up of pixels which capture light. Megapixels is just the calculation of pixels on a particular sensor.
You would have to read some of the OP’s previous threads to understand this. I think that was literally one of his thread titles.

take a 10MP group photo off of an A7RIV camera

Why do you need a photo so big?

I can bring my Quicktake 200. It's 640x480. It's also a point and shoot, so it's fine. The memory cards are really small.

I would offer to take it on my Nikon D1, but that's a camera for a pro and I'm not a pro. I don't want to get too fancy and use the D1x since that's really a pro camera.

There’s a Sony Mavica somewhere in my parents garage and guess what… it takes floppy disks!

She is a beauty. And is that a planar?

Yes indeed. I need to expand my Hasselblad kit. The initial kit I bought was this body(500C, from 1960) with a 12 back and an A12 back plus a 50mm Distagon, 80mm Planar, 150mm Sonnar and 250mm Sonnar. That covers me pretty well, but I wouldn't mind a T* Planar and Distagon. I'd love a 40mm, but they're huge. My current kit, even though they're old(as best as I can tell the original owner bought one lens a year from 1960 to 1963) covers the range pretty well at least.

For reals where do you get your old cameras?

I've bought some from Ebay, some from classifieds on other sites, some from KEH, but by far and away my favorite source was Chuck Rubin Photographics in Louisville. From probably 2013 up until the plague hit last year, quite literally nearly every Friday afternoon from the time I got off work to the time he closed at 6:00 I'd go in, BS for a while, rummage through piles of crap, and almost always leave with something. I use to joke about how I'd trip over something in the shop and buying it, but if you saw it you'd see that "tripping over an F2" wasn't exactly a difficult thing to do. It was a magical place. There were some incredible photographers there too(including Chuck himself) and I learned a lot just in that little semicircle of chairs in the middle of the tiny shop.

Chuck took the chance during COVID to seriously clean out, downsize, and move to a new location. I've talked to him a few times, but haven't been to the new store.
