What will happen if I use 3 2/3AA NiCads in my LS second? Will it let the smoke out? The head reads first run #341 if this helps. The cells are only 270 ma hr so I realize the run time will be short.

Well, I fried LSS #306 by screwing it into a Scorpion body with a CR123 and an alkaline totaling a nominal 4.5 volts.

After the burial, Peter later posted that he did not recommend driving more than 3.2 V to the ARC LS as that any voltage over that level resulted in a straight pass-through of voltage. Presumably current would also be passed straight through at that leve.
