Yes i should probably put a heatsink on the 7805, although I'm more inclined to put the backlight on a switch/button as, once the unit's up and running i won't be watching it constantly,  and 200mA is a significant drain of power. Or if there's a spare pin on the nano i suppose i could get it to turn on the backlight when the battery >= float voltage,  if i dare tweak poidas code.
