Now that it's running on a lower voltage, it's only slightly warm.
Good point. If you haven't seen normal it's hard to know if it's not.

As I noted above, I notice that they now have a package that does what I just did.
I'd hate to see damage from a mis matched ballast and battery voltage. If it were me I would pick up the phone and ask what the maximum voltage for my ballast is (unless you have something that tells you), then check the voltage of the battery pack when it is fully charged. If the battery voltage excedes the ballast rating I would call back.
In any case, good luck.
