Apparently the Scout begins to get squirrely around 11v.

It seems to be the consensus that running lower power (<30w) and using
short, fat battery cables with a LiFePo battery will enable several hours of
portable operation with the Scout.

I have ordered the 12Ah LiFePo battery.  It weighs 4 pounds.
Still have to order a battery charger, as LiFePo requires a special type of
charger.

We shall see . . .
