not paying nearly £500 for a couple of camera batteries!, I found a cheaper option, if i needed to buy the batteries and charger it would have been about £70 for after market (knock off) makita batteries and charger. (plus rigging)
This could be used to power all kinds of stuff as well, not just a camera.

Update-
Ive been making another of these for my 700d which I film at home with and I have modified that one and the one on my C100 with one of these-

it disconnects the battery when it falls below a set voltage to protect from over discharge. turns out im terrible for leaving the camera running and have ruined one of the batteries by discharging it too much a few times!
