  2. What cable would I need to connect the battery to the switch to the light?
  3. If I wanted to change to a 4000mah battery (maybe 2, one as a backup), where do I find battery covers?
  4. What am I missing?
Thanks for all of your help.
supposedly the switch they sell starts blinking when the battery gets low. If you go with the Batteryspace lithium batteries they have electronics on them that prevent overcharging and draining so you get a double protection if you go that route (I did and it has worked great for me in rain and dry).
