Direct drive is exactly as it sounds. There is no driver circuit board controling the current flow and power so as the battery drains lumens drop. No regulation.. Its the battery pushing all the amps it can muster to the led. K70 is not direct dive. It has a driver.

Thanks for the reply Alex. The reason I ask is I read that some batteries are harmful to direct drive lights. Is this true?

I would say no. The more high drain the cell is the brighter the light will be. a protected cell might trip but even if it didn't it just would not be as bright as a high drain cell but i don't think it would harm it
