This is the first time I have seen this conversion. Since the Platinum is no wider and no taller than a stick pack, it should work. I can't tell how the ends are retained though. If there are just stops at each end and each side, and a top plate to hold it down, it should work!

It looks like to could also probably adapt this conversion into something that allow pretty quick battery changed. 30 minute electric mains

I am ordering one today!
