Reads but no reply. I wanted to update this and I feel kind of dumb. I noticed some problems with my v-lock batteries over the past months. I was dropping power to my camera if the battery shifted. When I originally built my camera I purchased a very inexpensive (cheap ) plastic battery mounting plate, March 2015. Since I was having some problems, I purchased a metal plate from Wooden Camera. No more poor battery connection, and guess what, my drive is running much cooler. I am thinking it was a power draw issue that my cheap battery plate contributed to. Drives will run hotter if they are not properly powered. Hope this helps someone. As most often you get what you pay for.
