Oops - I meant 225mAH , sorry about that.  Regarding the 10 minutes of
ON time.  We haven't nailed the times down - 10 minutes is an
estimate.  We might have to throttle down to a much slower speed for
30 minutes to wait for the signal from the IR receiver module.  If
nothing has been detected after that we'll shut down.
