Your requirements are not very clear.

Or more specifically, they are too specific.

For example, wanting to use the same battery. Why?

Most people would answer they only want to carry a single charger. And in these days of airline restriction on weight and even limits on lithium batteries, there is some sense in that.

But what if they had a battery life of 4 weeks or say, 4,000 shots, and what if that 4,000 shot camera had a built in battery that couldn't be changed.

Is your requirement actually about carrying batteries, because this is something you enjoy doing, or more about your camera having power.

4 years ago it may have been an issue, but now I carry one charger for a battery that can recharge 6 different devices, including my Sony A7. That charger is 1.5" square.

I think many of your requirements fall into this trap.

Try redefining your requirements in terms of what you want to achieve, rather than how you believe it can be done.
