Hi.. Thanks for the tips. The tip about sharing current between the 7805 and the tip32b is definitely going into my bag of tricks. Thats a biggy.. thanks again.
- If you remove SPST relay and diode with question mark you get a reset on power off.
Anyway, Im moving over to 12v 4amp hour batteries to arrive at a 5-6 hour battery on time. Considering my projects draws .25 amps at power off these 12v batteries should do the job. Lets see.. 4 (amp hours) / .25 amp = 8 hours.. something tells me it doesnt work that way.. but well see. I just hooked up a .26 amp fan to one of these 12v batteries
