I'm sure they've considered it, but my first thought would be to buy a magsafe to magsafe 2 converter for each batterybox and use that as the connector.

Seems like that would be better looking, but maybe it's still impractical.

Actually that was the intention if you looked at the original crowdfunding video. But a call from Apple prevented that from happening due to licensing issues of using their converters.
