Before you lunch the seller, you have a charger that WILL charge all 3
batteries, you just have to update the firmware!!!  The Type iV

Get the Battery Tools from Apple, it will have a Type 3 battery extension,
stick it in your extension folder.  Shut down the Duo, hook up the charger,
AC adapter and Duo - then start it up.  That's it.

As for your Type IV battery I think that is an aftermarket product so you're
on your own with that...
