Hi, John

I really appreciate your comments.

I strongly believe that by connecting two batteries in parallel you 
can decrease your chance of destroying electrical circuits in your 
cameras.  This is particularly truth for digital cameras.  Because 
difference in voltage potentials of two batteries over time, can 
create parasitic current between two cameras.

Plus, even thin wires can endure several amperes current for short 
time.

An equivalent battery capacity double if you connect two of them in 
parallel.

I actually glue my connectors outside cameras body.  You can find 
information about those connectors on Digi-Key web site 
(www.digikey.com) catalog numbers from H2152-ND to H2177-ND.

Best regards

Andrei
