NX300 Charging while streaming

I would kindly ask for your wisdom regarding Samsung NX300.
I have the opportunity to grab this piece from my brother. I want to use its capabilities for streaming. I was shocked when I learned that there seems to be no way to charge while recording. This is a dealbreaker as the battery is already so deprecated, that it wont hold for more than 30 minutes. 
Is there a way to power this camera directly from the adapter? Any method of charging while recording for live stream?
Thank you.

You may want to get a dummy battery similar to this:

you have to take out the x in dhxgate to get the proper url.

I haven't tried it myself but it seems that if your battery is fully charged you can run the camera for ours when the usb charging cable is connected.

Re: NX300 Charging while streaming

Have you managed to find a solution to your problem? Were you able to use the NX300 to live stream using OBS? with the use of a Camlink/capture card?
