Conner999 thank you very much for your help. I will use your comments regarding the battery.
AC adapter and grip in my case it's an unnecessary expense. The price is good for the original device. But I don't see any point in using it.
I'm looking for batteries and cable to power my back only.

@DBF
is it safe from your experience?
did you have any problems with such equipment?

DBF

No Problems in use.
But I placed a Fuse 2A slow blow in the Plus - Cable from the Batt.

No worries, no sense spending more money than need to.

If looking for an L battery holder, the one sold by SmallRig (also sold by others) is nice. It has a rotating 1/4-20 socket on the underside that you can use to secure to a stud.

The one by Blind Spot Gear, The Power Junkie holder also has two USB ports that supply 5V from the battery and the L series can also be charged in the cradle from your laptop or other 5V source.

Let us know how turns out.

Thank you for your comments and suggestions.
Conner999 your idea with batteries is very good.
I am thinking about this.

A lot of such batteries are 7.4V, this is exactly 7.2V
The second reason is that I have one LED light for such a battery. So 2 in 1

I also found a very interesting battery plate, I only have to buy an adapter or change to a different socket:

Now I think, because the back does not have a tripod socket.
I have an idea to buy the original plate, and glue with resin battery plate.

The problem I see is that this plate is mounted with only two screws, which may not be enough for such a heavy set.

such a construction would be very similar to the original.
