Do I need battens or some kind of special fixing behind the units to

You could try the metal "hollow wall anchors", the type with a machine
screw that pulls the back end of the plug in and spreads out a
multi-fingered metal flower on to the back of the plasterboard.
How thick is the plaster board, 9.5mm might bow over time under the
load, though most load from a wall cupboard is vertical rather than a
horizontal pull.
