Re: Nuawi... or however it\'s spelled =x
Craig from LED Museum has run the ones without Overdischarge Protection (the ones he got from 4sevens) in his Quantum III without issue. He notes the light tends to be a bit brighter, probably due to the higher voltage.
Now, I'm not going to guarantee that it won't kill your light more quickly, though - and you HAVE to take the cells out as soon as the light starts dimming, lest you kill the batteries.
