Rob, Was your FLASH digital voltage display designed to be wired to display full time, or connected to a momentary switch? 35mW seems to be a small enough drain to be lived with the few hrs. the system is actually on during a race, But reading about how much concern about battery weight there is on this site, makes me wonder. I was thinking about designing a magnetic reed switch/relay setup, so that I could switch the system on&off by passing a magnet over the switch without opening the hatch cover. The voltage display would do double duty as a pilot lamp.
