I know you went with a different battery, but do you know if their 50AH rating is for 1amp draw for 50 hours? Do they all just assume its a 1amp draw? This is kinda a sweet setup as you don't have to use a DC-DC converter which would have an efficiency loss every time you use it.
I also am concerned about this charger for your pack,
http://www.batteryspace.com/Smart-Ch...de-use-CE.aspx doesn't mention if its a 3 stage charger or not. It says "smart" charger, but what does that really mean?
