The power sounds ok, but check that you battery delivers >= 8 Volt @ 10
mA.

Crystal, capacitors, /MCLR pull-up?

At http://www.voti.nl/wisp628 I have blink-a-led programs and circuits
for most flash PICs. I recommend you start with one of these programs
without modifying it. Take one step at a time!
