have you tried using a Adafruit PowerBoost 500c or 1000c for power? i think it could be useful in this aplication cause it can take a 3.7 lipo/li ion battery and it has LEDs for charging, power, and lowbattery.

[Mechanical Pencil]

i used to have the same power setup (not teh same but close components) but it was too big for my application. maybe with this advice you could make ti more compact and more portable. TNAKS FOR LISTNING!!
