OK I just made up a heat sink for my board. Its basicly a 1 inch x 1inch aluminium channel. I drilled a 9mm hole for the inductor to sit in and thermal pasted it in place.
I ran it for 5 minutes off a 12V battery (battery is a little flat and was at 12v) and ran 2 P7s in series off it.
High 1.9amps 22.8watt output 2.6 amps at 6.7v 17.42 watt or 76% efficient (it did drive a single P9 to 2.8amp)
Med .60 amps 7.2watt Output .77amps 3.12v 2.4watt 33% efficient.
Low .21 amps 2.52watt Output.24amps @1.8v .432watt 17% efficient.
Med and Low seem way way inefficent. perhaps I misread. I will remeasure again later.
But the important thing is that I can run 2 P7s off of it at 12v & it did not go into heat protection mode. It got warm but not hot. :twothumbs
