   17:50 I’ve never worn those wrist strap things or used a grounded mat on my
   workbench or table. Ever. In over 30 years I’ve never had an issue with
   static. I tend to touch things that discharge any static on me before I’m
   touching something I plan to keep.?

   Hi Ben. I’m 14 and …
   Hi Ben. I’m 14 and last week I got my Pi portable. But what you could do is
   bypass the voltage regulator on the LCD screen. The screen runs off of a 12
   volt car battery, but it steps it down to 5 volts. Just solder it to the
   first capacitor’s second terminal. Then you can run it off one battery!
   Thanks!?
