Sounds you have it all pretty much sorted Leo, , Who'd ever thought of using power tool batteries and the likes with a step down buck converter, your a genius mate,, super light and portable, bit of sorting with connections initially but wow, great going for initiative.
That's the easy part, I have a twin charger system the batteries plug into and I'll just strip it and use it for my purposes, the chargers are cheap and regularly on sale at Aldi (I also have other chargers for them).
I also have a range of their 20 volt power tools and a somewhat large collection of the batteries in 4Amp


EDIT: Caveat, this is only a valid option if you already have the battery packs, the 2 new 8-AH batteries I have sitting around for a project for my son cost $100 each. The 4-AH I have plenty of for power tools.
