Battery Stuff

Just a note- using a DeWalt XRP 14.4v battery for the "Backpack Mode" moon (portable & self contained, so the kid can run around with the moon lit up).

Ran most of the day. Forgot to meter the battery at the start of the day, but about halfway through the day, it metered 15.7v, and by the end of the day it was only down to 15.6v. I guess the LED load pales in comparison to the DeWalt drill motor... I have a feeling this will last for a while, despite not having done the math to confirm this fact...

Also can't find the mAh rating for the battery, but maybe I'm not looking hard enough.

Shoot day 2 coming up... just found out the moon has to get wet. That should be fun...
