Oh ok, I thought you needed the 3in1 for some reason :P
So... can't you recharge the battery on the 3in1? How does the battery work tho XD Am I wasting battery if it is on the DS?

You can always open it and replace the battery.
The battery will die of old age normally, It doesn't matter what you do it will be probably be out of service in 5 years.

The battery in the 3in1 isn't rechargeable. It's a tabbed cr1220. The battery won't drain just because it's in the DS. The rechargeable ones drain the DS battery (like the ML1220 in a GBA Expansion pack) when the DS is on.

So the battery won't drain if I dont use it, correct?

Like Sarkwalvein alluded to, all batteries will gradually discharge over time. How fast depends on the chemical make-up of the battery. This is indicated by the discharge rate in the spec.

OK, so im getting the carts from here http://dsflash.es/ezflash/45-expansion-ezflash-3-in-1-blanco.html and here http://www.funtronik.com/prestafun/product.php?id_product=196. Everything should work right? No incompatibilities with R4 Wood and 3in1, right? I should be able to play all dem good RPGs and stuff :P The battery should run for 3 years minimum I guess.

Yes this combo is fine. As far as the battery in the 3in1 is concerned, it may be depleted when it arrives as it's all old stock. Some places check the batteries before they ship, and change them if they are flat to avoid returns.
If you're using Wood to launch GBA games, then patch non-sram roms with GBATA.

What consoles can I emulate with the R4? I can't find any information about that XD

You should generally check around the forums first, especially stickies. Anyway, here you go. It hasn't been updated in a couple of years, but besides a couple of projects like GameYob, there really hasn't been much these past couple of years, anyway.
