OK, I'm kinda unsure where to post this so if it needs to be moved, please do, thanks /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif because it involves a spotlight (spot/HID forum), a 55W incan, batteries (electronics) and it's about modifying the spot's batteries (modified).
I'm thinking about leveraging NiMH's flatter discharge curve to drive a 55W H3 automotive bulb and at the same time, gain more capacity. Amondotech is selling some C-cells with tabs and a reasonable capacity, I'm thinking of buying a dozen and rolling my own pack. 14.4V should provide a nice overdrive to the thousands-of-hours lifetime bulb, too. And it's cheap, a dozen will run me less than $40.
You guys tell me why it's a bad idea /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
