New Batteries for the Ground Station

I recently picked up two new batteries to power ground equipment with my FPV setup.

First, I got a 2s 2200 mAh battery for the Headplay headset. This will power both the headset itself, and the head tracker module. I have 3s batteries that will work for this, but 2s will make the voltage regulators in the components last longer, because they won't have to work as hard.

I also bought 2s 5000 mAh battery. This will be used to power the "ground station." I set up the wiring so that I plug in the Deans to the BEC, and the Dragon Link transmitter and the OrangeRx receiver will always get clean, stable voltage from the dual output BEC. The 5000 mAh battery should be able to power this setup for hours more than I currently would ever need in a single session.
