Q5 Aspheric Mag Question

Hammer Train · Sep 16, 2008

What would be the difference in using this in a 2d or a 3d maglite? Would the brightness or the runtime be any different? Also can anyone suggest any rechargeable D cells or any alternative batteries / cells to use in a 2D or 3D mag?

It depends on the board. That one says it's buckboost, so it should not matter if you use 2 or 3 cells, but no guarantees.

Dude give the guy a break. He posted in a different forum and was told he was better off posting it here so he did. Then a mod shifted his original thread to this forum as well.

Apologies, as Packhorse says it wasn't really my intention to cross post! Thanks for your reply, does anyone know for sure?

Without the specs on the driver it would be hard to say.
My guess is that you would want to match the battery voltage to the Vf of the LED as much as you can.
3 NiMh cells would be your best bet.
You should get more run time with 3 cells over 2. Say 50% more. But you may not get much more by going to 4 cells.
