Re: *NEW PICS* The "Chimera Mini" A "Flat" Edc with Built-in Usb Charging
I tried messing with that idea.. If i wanted to go bigger,
The light would have to be 1/3 bigger :mecry:
This is the battery i have in the light right now:

And here is the battery that will make it into the final product:

I figured you may have noticed the capacity difference between
this battery shown above^ and the one shown in my prototype.
This battery^ is 60mA smaller in capacity compared to the
prototype. The reason for this, Is because the one above^ is
a High Current 2c 8000mA batt, whereas the prototype has a
2c rated batt . The lower "C" batt cannot handle the higher
currents from driving the MC-E on high for nearly as long as the
higher spec batt can. So, What i am using is an R.C. batt in
my final design. It is basically over rated for the job, and therefore
will last alot longer under bigger loads than a slightly-higher capacity
battery that can't do high current loads. Does that make sense?
What i am aiming for, Is a pocket light that you wont have to
replace the battery on for quite a long time. Even if you use it
every single day
I'm going to go ahead and be on the list just in case I can afford one!
Just looking at the pictures, I was wondering if the driver board couldn't be placed off to the side with nothing in it to allow for an even wider battery with a touch more capacity?
You can just use those really tiny usb
