If you plan on running 800 mA through that thing it is going to get very hot. If you do not mount it to a pcb in the way it was designed, it will burn out without a heatsink. You can however attach a heatsink to it. Wouldnt it be easier just to replace the battery with a DC power source?

and i want to use these guys to make me some custom pcb's

and this is the software they say i can choose from. just send them the final project file and they can make the pcb

all im asking right now is what the best software i could use in my case. i have never done this before, and im not familiar with most cad stuff. im pretty green, but i do understand electric circuits and can solder, just not something this small. thats why i have to get custom pcb's made, there is just no other way. (im not making them myself, not when for $30 i can have 12 of these made).

I would recomend Eagle althought it is simple and free, it provides almost needed functinalities
