The output of the op amp can be a PNP transistor (probably a darlington) or a FET that actually does the switching. Should be simple enough.
That's a logical and pretty simple design, but it's been a long time since I etched a circuit and would have to spend as much on chemicals and supplies as buying one of those linked ones. Also - wouldn't the transistor have to support the full battery voltage so that it doesn't burn out just from overvoltage across terminals?
