> How do you plan to make the power cycle? cutting VDD for the PIC to Reset=
 ?

I have no plan. The programmers that I know will cut Vdd and/or short=20
Vdd to ground. But this will result in the battery kicking in, thus=20
preventing the PIC from being power-cycled.

Maybe I should reconsider the whole idea. A low-voltage-only PIC or an=20
LPC1114 might be a better idea than trying to combine a 5V PIC with=20
battery and ICSP.
