Unfortunately, the battery tests were disappointing, only 33 hours...
assuming that the battery capacity was correct (1000mAh) and that all of it was used before the boost circuit collapsed...
1000mAh @ 3.7V = 3700Wh
3700Wh / 5V = 740mAh
740mAh / 33h = 22mA (AVG) spread across the booster, RTC , Arduino and SD card which isnt too bad really
redesign:
The SD card will be turned around so that its accessable from the end with the USB port and the wires allowing the whole lot to be put into a tube of heatshrink.
