Google nest with 2 AAA batteries

I have a Google nest thermostat with two AAA batteries.

If the batteries die, will my AC and heat still turn on.
Can I use a 24 V transformer on this model for  common wire power.

If no C wire is installed and the batteries die, the thermostat will not work.

How is the thermostat wired?

Is there a C wire installed?

Yes, you can use an external 24vac transformer, but you must also use the Nest Power Connector.

Not sure how the house is wired into vacation house in Florida which I was going to in January. 
For the transformer, what is a nest power connector & where do I get one?
