How much current does the Madmax Lite (from the Sandich Shoppe)?

On the Aqualabs driver page it says 200ma while the SS page says "Output power is approximately half the power of Madmax Plus." If the MM+ is ~700ma does this mean that it would output ~350ma?

I'm looking to drive a XR-E Q5 off of 1AA NiMh at 350ma and all the other boost drivers on the driver list seem to require more than 1.2v.

Is there a better driver I could use?

MadMax Lite outputs a maximum ~400mA.

If you can get hold of one, the RV7 driver at 800mA high (3-speed) does a great job with the Q5, on a single AA cell. 1.2-1.8V Max.

~400mA should be good then. Thanks.
