Yes, but why...?
The AB is big/heavy/expensive/externally-wired-and-worn;
the NPF960 is relatively small/light/cheap/integrated,
and it can power the TRV900 for a VERY long time...
Sony has solved power problems with these larger
LI batteries they offer - all the cameras they
offer have available high-capacity batteries that
are nothing short of amazing in terms of run-times
for price-and-weight...
