I'll give that a try, Sawdust. What kind of voltage drop should I expect? The new pack is a 1000 Mah. I also have a new 600 mah pack that I was going to use as the back-up when the new switch harness gets here.

What you are looking for is a significant drop in voltage. Say below 4.8 volts. If you have a problem you will probably see it within the first 5 minutes. The best way to check this out is with a watt meter. Then you can actually see what the draw is.

Always test your voltage under a load.

Good luck.
