I had the D1 components on both my drivers fry/die/explode on me earlier today D:

Hows the clicky on this? The one on mine broke/died, go figure. It stays on for a half second then blinks rapidly for a second or two then turns off. When I take it apart, the clicky is hot to the touch. Was running m140 w/ two ben boosts at 914mAh = 1824mAh total.

Yep! TF201 :cool: Thanks, wasn't 100% sure.

I can't wait! I need to find something to do tomorrow other than sleeping or drinking to keep me occupied... :whistle:

Not today, hopefully tomorrow! It's the last part I'm waiting on :na:

Hey guys, what parts of these should I be heatsinking? The side with all the components on it, or the side with the big black thing?

77024, Houston Texas! OR 76798, Waco Texas. I go between the two.

More or less, yeah. Thanks! I asked because I was testing out how I was going to sink my drivers and noticed that they would short out in a certain position, but the glue would prevent certain parts from touching the heatsink, which now that I think about it, fixes the shorting problem.

Hey Blord, when you thermal pasted the drivers to the coin, did you isolate any of the components on the bottom side? Or did you just slap the drivers right on there?

Already a thread on this, lol. http://laserpointerforums.com/f41/just-begging-another-lawsuit-wicked-74144.html

Those are actually the exact batteries I have right now XD

I'll be able to comment on how it works on either the 7th or 8th of May when I get back home. (About the shipping address: the spring semester at Baylor is finished in the upcoming week, so I opted to have it sent to my house)

Tested with two different freshly charged Ultrafire 18650's, same results as before. Just for sh!ts and giggles, I tried a different phone battery (the one I use in my phone, just an extended version of the one I was testing with before). That one lasts a consistent 10 seconds before it shuts...

Wound up on Gizmodo as well :P http://gizmodo.com/5906044/this-home-made-star-trek-phaser-video-is-absolutely-kirktastic

Thanks for the formulas, but I don't have a multimeter (or know anyone who has one). So I guess my problem is most definitely my battery? I need one capable of a very high discharge rate, correct? If that's the case, should the "Panasonic 3100mah #18650 Lithium-Ion Cell" (topmost battery) from...

I don't have any way to check the batteries' resistance. It's not an old battery per say, but knowing ultrafire and other cheap chinese brands, who knows. I got it from Amazon no more than 2 months ago. Could you specify some more on AW IMR? Right now I'm going to give it a full charge and see...

Which components are the IC's? I'm putting off setting them onto a heatsink for the time being because I do not yet have the heatsink I will use in the final build. And my thermal adhesive is not here yet. Would it really generate THAT much heat THAT fast with the 18650 to shut off immediately?

I have two ben boost drivers at 914mA apiece. I have then wired up as shown: (direct link for massive size) http://i.imgur.com/UZjwm.jpg http://i.imgur.com/OAcD2.jpg I'm running an M140 and expecting to get 2W out of it. But I have an issue. When I power the entire thing with a single 18650...

Is this still alive? Would love to get me one of these. Pm'd.
