I don’t know if anyone has done this yet. I m sure someone has. But I got a Makita 9.6volt drill battery and charger the other day. My pack was running off 9volt battery and after a 2 day con battery changes became a pain in the butt. So I got the gb2 battery cup kit off Nickatron and started to make all the electrics that hold the drill battery fit into 1 of the cups. After a lot of modding I now now have a cup that looks the same but holds a makita battery that can be easy removed for charging that will power my pack. Next step is bending up the metal frame and a few coats of black paint. Will post pics When connected to my jupiter electronics lights and mounted to pack.

Hope these pix work

This is the first cut out in the base with the battery clips and trigger still attached to drill motor for size.

This is the inner guts of the cup with the battery holder and part of the trigger glued in.
