Anyone heard of an L series replacement battery with D-tap socket (like those EX series battery replacements)?
I'd like to have the ability to power the nanoFlash with the FS100 without a need for external battery...

I don't think you'll find that option built into any L series battery. The L series batteries are 7.4v while the D-tap is +12v.
If you were looking to run everything from a single battery a possible option would be to go with a 14v Lio with D-tap and a voltage reducing regulator to get you to the voltage of the FS100.

Thanks Chris - I should have realized D-tap is rated 12V. Nevertheless, I'd expect a solution like the Bebob's CoCo-EX for the EX series BP batteries - only limited to 1 or 2 Hirose sockets...
On the other hand, with the "L" series batteries present on the market so long now, some important reason must exist nobody offers anything like that.

There may be something in this system:
DV Link Battery-System from Hawk-Woods/Sony Z1/FX1/Z5 (http://www.hawkwoods.com/products/dv_link_sony/overview/overview.php?mainMenuItemToSlide=2)
I had the MDV batteries for my Z1s - they were great, worked well. Sold them all with the Z1s, and now for the FS100, I need to re-invest. Hopefully these will still work.
