Just to be on the absolute safe side, I would make sure to have a battery capable of putting out 2.5 amps. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Yup, and if voltage sags in the cold (-30c), this happens. Volts down, amps up. The dc-dc boost converter didnt like the abuse. That's part of the reason I'm switching to NiCd batteries, and Li-Ion batteries freak me out unattended in a forest, because of fire risk, abused from charging in the cold too...
I removed the blown converter and it still works when powering the base board and transmitter board individually, so using it with 5v external now.
