Re: The lamps and batteries for SF Turbo heads tread
Oh, there IS a plastic body that fits the T.. I was thinking of the "cheap" G2, which you mentioned needed an adapter..
Anyways, I have done some napkin calcs to find rechargeable options for the T head - based on very rough assumptions! I figure the N62, would sag the 123 pri cells to about 2.2-2.3v total 8.8-9.2v. This is too much for two Li-ion, and way too little for three fresh ones! So either an 8series of NiMH, or some of the newer li high power chemistries, or even a voltage drop cirquit.
For the 100lm+ lamps, N2 and N5, then: Based on the 1c discharge, the N2 should draw 1,3A - the voltage would be around 7.5. Two li-ion 123 might give from 7.8v and downwards a bit - seems like a fit?
If the B90 3xnimh stack were sagging to 3.3v, and the bulb is less efficient because of the lower voltage, it might draw about 3,5A? If the b90 can hold 3,6v for a few seconds at least (it should), then maybe the N5 would not blow too fast on a single 18650 Li-Ion?
Anyways, if someone were to come up with better estimates, I'd be happy.
