Need advice on buck converter

[ecallahan]

I have a Bosch cordless drill, which runs off a 14.4V battery. I also have the work light that goes along with it. I want to convert it to probably a neutral white xp-g. Can you recommend what buck converter I might be able to use to drop the voltage down so that I don't fry the xp-g? I'd go for longer runtime over a brightness. I've searched around a bit, but I'm confused. Thanks in advance.

If you look in the battery and charger forum the 1st thread is a "sticky" w/ all sorts of battery & electronics links including a list of various drivers. You'll find what you're loking for in there.

Doublecheck your freshly charged voltage too btw, it's probably more then 14.4v, and it would suck to get a driver thats good for 15v and roast it with a freshly charged battery. :thumbsdow

Will do to both suggestions, thank you.
