What is the best battery do I order with this?

you can order the M12 Red Lithium 2.0 3INR19/65 48-11-2420 2 Ah battery or, better, the M12 Red Lithium XC 48-11-2402 C21CD124594 32 Wh battery.

Without power from the battery, does this work as a regular ratchet? I could see situations where I would want to torque bolts manually.

Yes, this can be used without a battery using your own strength. It's reliable and the battery last forever. It's not a power house at 35 foot pounds of torque, but I break nuts and bolts lose manually and then use the ratchet's battery power. I use it daily in my automotive shop.
