Adding a few more small details to my build.
First a small inexpensive plug in volt meter to check my battery.

This was an Amazon purchase, but it shipped from Hong Kong. It didn't take as long as I thought it would to get here, and the shipping was free. It was maybe a week or two longer than usual Amazon shipments.

The picture is crooked, but yes, the fan is offset to one side also. Offsetting it took advantage of an existing screw hole, made it so I didn't have to lengthen the control cord, and took advantage of two sides for added support.
One of the other changes I made (again) is that I redid my heater's exhaust again. I was having trouble with it in the high winds we get here. So I had moved it from the sidewall to an extended pipe above the roof line. That solved some problems, but not the wind problem. I did get a high wind cap for it, but it didn't fit well. I finally had a "duh" moment and solved the issue for good I hope.
Here is the vent I started with:

Then mostly because it was pushing some exhaust toward my door, and had wind issues. I went to this configuration:

On a particularly cold, nasty, windy night it still had issues with the wind blowing the flame out. No gas issues though because it has a very quick acting thermocoupler. Now I have gone to this version:

Two layers of heavy aluminum tape over the two horizontal vents completely solved both the wind and sideways exhaust problems. It was such a simple fix, and it works really great now. So far I have tested it in approximately 40 mph wind gusts with nary a flicker of the flame!
I am back to being a happy camper again.
