It doesn't look very familiar to me. I'm looking right at it, and it's
got little recessed blades. Maybe a Japanese-standard automotive
stereo connector?
If it's the same of the one on my D50, then it looks very similar to the connector used on CCTV cameras for auto iris lenses, I don't have one to hand ATM but I'll try and find one tomorrow.

Just out of curiosity, why do you want to use such a heavy battery?
The power consumption of the D70 is pretty low, and the Li-ion
batteries last a long time, even with the camera on. Much, much better
than earlier cameras which ate 2500mAh NiMH cells for lunch.

Again, may be slightly different but the D50 has had two battery charges so far (initial charge included) and it's filled the 512Mb SD card eight times so far (over a thousand pics) since Christmas.
