Wow.  So exchange the plates for different batteries at approx £5 each!

Well spotted JK, nice one.

What I need is an external power source for the D800, I ran a time lapse yesterday for 5 hours continuous, I used a battery base screwed to the bottom of the D800 with a second EN-EL 15.  It just managed the 5 hours, I doubt it would have done 6 hours.  What I would much prefer would be to be able to plug a large capacity battery into the DC input port.  For time lapse and astro, compact and built in don't count highly.  Long, uninterrupted running time is paramount.
