Hey I have 5 of these 3405 hosts on hand and they will make a great 445 build if you simply set it up for 3 X 10440's in parallel...
This keeps the voltage at 4.2 (fully charged), but triples the capacity of a 10440 battery!
It's really easy to modify the battery holder for this set up...
(3 X 10440's in parallel is good, but a single 'quality' 18650 is still better, see my kits linked in my signature)
Battery Modification:
This will give you 4.2 volts... But 3 times the capacity of a single 10440 battery!
One other note:
The battery holder (different one shown), has these small 'tabs' at a couple of (flat) contact points where the batteries need to make contact.
Use a knife and 'snap' or cut the tabs to make sure your batteries make good contact. The thickness of the tabs can cause a weak connection, or no connection at all...
The host has a massive heatsink... The pill will make a roomy area for mounting your FlexDrive or Micro BoostDrive...
If you order one from me with the 'Hot' option (driver installed), and decide you would like the battery holder for this 'parallel' set up. I will solder it up and do the modification for an extra $10 bucks...
No copper heatsink option for this one as of now, but the aluminum heatsink is plenty massive...
