Heyyy,
As the title states I'm looking for an X-boost Capable of at least 1.8a.
1st casualty I was able to salvage was my M462 build. I had to replace the defective tail switch in the krypton groove when i got it. saturday it was working fine then it failed to turn on.
I have isolated the possible causes to a shorted tail cap or the cheap diode socket I used to connect the diode to the driver. m462 diode lives!
Right now it's run on an Xdrive with 2 16340s. I'd like to Simplify this and use one 18650. This will help solve my tail switch issue because 2 18350s are just to long. last time I used a c6 replacement switch which worked fine until I tried to cut the spring down to put less pressure on the battery cells.
2nd causality was a 500mits build in a S4 host. The rubber gasket on the bezel locked onto the heatsink and twisted the diode pins.
Silly mistakes. Preventable mistakes. I was able to salvage that flexdrive (set to 1.2a) and use it in another build I sold.
Soooo it wasn't a total loss. One diode, one tail cap. Maybe a diode socket. I'd like to get a better socket other than an ebay cheapie.
Thanks all,
Jefferson
