mod a driver?

[aussiebuddha]

Hi guys.
is there any way to mod this driver https://www.kaidomain.com/WEBUI/ProductDetail.aspx?TranID=3256
and get it to accept 2 lithium cells? specs say max is 6v

Lithium primaries are 3V per cell (2x3=6V). Are you referring to Li-Ion?

yes, sorry li-ion rechargeables not 3v primaries

nothing much you can do for the driver board itself since the microcontroller and ldo regulator are both spec'd at 6v max.

aside from that, the higher the voltage difference between input and led voltage results in lower effeciency since the extra voltage is just converted to heat.

You'd be better off finding a driver that's made to accept the higher voltage. I thought Kai and DX had some.
