The Air403 would need a battery to operate. It will not work without one, so if you are removing all batteries because of inability to maintain them, this may not work. If you DO keep a small battery onsite for the AIR403 to charge, it can be interfaced to the grid with a battery based inverter such as an Outback GVFX of the appropriate voltage for the battery. This will most likely prove uneconomical, but it is certainly do-able.
