I believe that will run the risk of your battery dying and your heat turning off

I've had my nest thermostats for 5+ years and never had an issue. It was a pain in the ass having to call for help to do the work around, but they've been working for years and the heat has never shut off.

Running on batteries? How is it powered ?

I have no idea. I'm not into all that technical stuff. I remember buying them ready to wire them myself and got stuck at the C wire I just didn't have. There was a work around someone was able to figure out.
