Hey Raphael, I had the same problem but i found a bit a a solution, i added a v mount battery plate to the bottom of the rig. I got a the V-mount battery plate off ebay,
4x 1inch long 3/4 hex standoffs with 10-32 thread
4x 5/16 diameter 1/2in long spacers
some 1inch long 10-32 cap screws and washers.
flip the rig over, take the thumb screws holding the sliding base on and replace them with the hex standoffs, then put the screws through the battery plate, put the washers and spacers on them screw the plate to the hex stand off. here's a good drive link to see how mine turned out

let me know if you have any questions. I got all the hardware stuff from a small hardware store, home depot didn't have it but a neighborhood ACE or smaller hardware store might.
good luck yo

Lukas,
What if your batteries won't hold the same charge dues to age and cycle of use?
What if one of the battery is not fully charge?
Better have the diode installed for peace of mind and extra protection.
You can mix different charge and capacity battery without frying the circuit and damaging the battery.
The 0.7v drop is not a big deal.
I used Dual Schottky Diode 80A/45V. It can handle all kind of power or current hungry equipment.
Cheers,
Ken Nguyen.
Hi Ken, did you just splice the a diode into both positive wires?

Hey Beau, I know this is an old post but do you recall how you centered the gimbal bearing on the x45? I have a v25 and I assume it's similar but I'm not sure how to do it in general. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
