I know nothing about the BG10... but I do know the answer to your second question. It's about the battery... you can choose to use the AA batteries of the BG10 (LR6), or the lithium(Li) battery, which probably is the intern battery of the camera (CR123?). If you put it on LR6, the camera will drain the penlites and with Li, the penlites remain untouched, whether they're in the grip or not :)
Good luck! Hope someone else can answer #1 for ya.
