That's excellent. (Especially considering that the battery configuration could change in the future, e.g. lithium-ion batteries that would run more like 13.0 V, or a regulated DC-DC converter supplying the 12 V bus.)
(Hopefully) one final question: As far as the filtering requirements are concerned, I saw a bunch of different capacitors mentioned in the datasheet, and you said 10 µF tantalum or 22 otherwise; the closest I see to that in the datasheet I have is '2.2 μF tantalum or 10 μF aluminum electrolytic capacitor is needed if leads to the LED supply are 6" or longer.' And because I'm fairly ignorant of capacitive filtering in general, are these minimum values, or specific requirements? (I don't have a 10 µF tantalum capacitor on hand, so I'm curious if I could substitute a larger one.)
Merry Christmas!
