The title says it all.

I'm currently working on an Arduino project. The project involves connecting 3-5 different shields non which is a "Motor Shield".

They are VR, brain wave reader, GSM, GPS, TFT screen, and a camera.

What is the right way to calculate the power needed to be supplied to the total project by batteries?

What I know is that I have to calculate the amound of current withdrawn from each module in their highest peaks. Accordingly, I will choose the capacity of the battery that can operate the the amount of time I want.

Is this the way it is done? Or am I missing something? Is there any other concerns I have to keep an eye on?

Regarding the voltage, It shouldn't matter right? The shields are made specifically for Arduino, so if I powered it in the recommended range of voltages (7-12) I should be fine right?
