From what I understand that is no problem for this driver if your batteries and your LEDs are all in series.

I just picked up a hipFlex a Cree mce and some Arctic Silver, got home and sized up the driver against my 4D mag, for some reason I had just assumed it would fit but it doesn't (that's what I get for assuming, I know)
Apart from the vertical mod, does anyone have an idea/opinion about shaving enough off the hipflex to fit it in horizontally or is this just asking for trouble? I need to fit in a heatsink for a Cree mce.
Also I didnt get any of that fancy thermal pad material that i have just bee reading about, is this supposed to be standard? I guess it varies between suppliers.
Damn, everything was going so smoothly!

I plan on using 3xMC-E with a 6x18650 NiMH battery pack (7,2V ; 4.1A) on my dive light upgrade.
Can I use the hyperbooster with this set-up?
I was thinking on wiring the 3 MC-E (2S2P) in series > Vf~21,6V ; Iout=1,4A
or 3 MC-E (4S1P) in series > Vf~43,2V ; Iout=0,7A
In the hyperboost preview thread I read that with some minor modifications it is possible to get a higher output current than 1,3A?
I would also appreciate a Flex version.
