I found another similar conversion (in French!!!) but the pix tell the story:

The removable cells are easier to charge and manage but my set up works perfectly and I also use the same cells for my Nichia 365Nm UV LED Lamp so the same charger does both jobs. I expect I could make up an external battery for my D200's using the same cells, Mmmm... Now there's an idea!

The downside of the removable cells is the springs but I understand JK has had no issues with them so perhaps I worry about nothing. Any issues I have read about relate to the springs.

This is my conversion:
