Quick 5761 Question

[StarHalo]

Can a Mag61 be powered by six NiMH or LSD AAs? I know the voltage is right, but is there some other amperage/heat issue, even if using a soft start driver?

let see....

Philips 5751 draws ate about 5,5A under 7,2V load....

that's not too much for LSD cells like ENLOOPS but if you get High Drain batteries like ELITE 1700 you'll have better performance...

I am powering a 5761 with 6 Elite 1700's and am delighted with the performance. I have not done a run time ( not interested ) but just pop in a WA1111 if I need something that lasts a little longer per charge.

I did a very carefull de resistance mod on my switch and tail cap , so have to watch the voltage with the battery pack when it comes off the charger.

Wow, thanks guys, this is very promising, 1000+ lumens off of standard batteries, I know what my next mod project is.. :rock:
