Mark, are you going to drop the voltage on your batteries to 13.2?  Mercer

   I e-mailed Jean Pierre at Aaton to ask about voltages with the ACL HD motor. 
   He replied: "I must say I haven't the least idea... and no technical notes 
   can be found in Aaton about these motors. Sorry not to be helpful." 


 George at OEH replied that with the Eclair HD motor, a battery giving 14.4 volts without a load (ie-tested when the camera isn't running) is OK, but if it tests circa  15.5 without a load (which a fully charged 14.4 volt battery will do) then he doesn't recommend it.  

 So I guess using a 13.2 volt battery would be safer. (Just pull one cell out of a 14.4 to get 13.2).  (-ugh-)
