For a Quantum battery (or compatible below) you need a Quantum C03 cable 
which fits T-32 or T-45.  Expensive new but maybe $20-30 used.

And my favorite (and only one known to me) compatible device is the SP 
Systems Power Pack for $123.95 from B&H

A lot cheaper than $389 for the Quantum Turbo.  It uses a standard 12 
volt lead acid Panasonic type VHS camcorder battery so it's a little 
larger and heavier than the Quantum but there's no memory effect and the 
battery can be bought cheaply and swapped out quickly if desired.  It 
also has a belt clip but I find it a bit large and heavy for that and 
prefer to carry it via the shoulder strap.  Same fast recycling as the 
Turbo battery.
