Thanks and I could do that as I have several of them already, but, as others have said, the adaptors are quite fragile and can easily be damaged in use - so maybe not so reliable in the long run as a modified battery with the leads sealed in place into the case.
Also, I think I could use something like this
Cable Exit Grommet | Maplin to replace the existing weatherproofing plug in the K-30 body as it is slightly bigger than the 6mm X 9mm aperture in the case, although I might have to trim it slightly on one short side to make it fit snugly - then at least some of the weatherproofing should be maintained.
BTW Just realised that it would not be a good idea to try to convert my existing Meikle K-5/K-7 grip because the interface connector tower is mounted into a raised part of the top of the grip, not held in-place by screws as in some other third-party grips and so I would have to cut that part of the moulding off. I will have to buy a grip where this is not an issue. Other people might need to note this.
