Hello Everyone
2 years ago I've built my first flashlight following this forum, a P7 in a 3D host. I was quite happy with that until this year when i got a XML powered by an 18650 recycled from laptops (my first li-ion setup) and I realize the you can pump more than 1 AMP to a led
My curent p7 is driven by a 4xAMC 7135 Driver, multipe modes, and feed by some terrible ni-mh rechargable bought from ebay. Since I own now a Imax b6 I've realized how bad those are (no more thatn 3000mAh) and a big voltage sag, even at 0,8 A load
I;ve decide to change those to something else, while staying low on bugdet.
My options are
-since I have 3 pcs 2xAA to D adapter a a coupte of AA 2700 mAh Sanyo I could use those. But I'm not sure how those will perform at 1.4 A max draw ( 0,7 A per cel, since I ill use a 3S2P setup). Will those drop under 3,6 so fast?
-get 6 AA eneloops. Will those stay above 3.6 V under load?
-use the 3D body to fit 2 18650. But then I will need another driver since I understand that the AMC 7135 is not suitable for 8.4 V. What driver is recomended in this setup?
-Get a 32650 Li-Ion (from Kaidomain maybe, but those could be old?). I guess I could cut the body to fit just 1 cell
-Any other options?
Please if you have any suggestion feel free to post
Thanks!
