    Those should be fine in your 120. Remember to lock
down the little switch in the battery compartment with a
piece of cardboard or some tape around the cells. I've
found some are easier to hold down than others.
    They should also recharge with no problem using the
power supply or the 1x0 cradle.

    I have NOT used Avi's on a 120 so I can't comment
on how accurately it will guage battery strength. Try
checking the Newt's own guage in the extras drawer.

    Yes, the backup battery is a readily available Radio
Shack stock. They go for about $5 CDN so you can
expect to pay less.
