Nice one, brotha! Now lets just out the OD10s and have a laser fight! (j/k).

Are you serious? That's a little harsh, don't you think? EDIT: Oh, okay. In that case, NICE ONE BROTHA. I suppose I am to be banned now :P

Seems a bit strange.. but right on.

Anybody know what Flaminpyro did to get banned? Poor guy. :cryyy:

There was definitely some question over the test load. I used 4 1N5406 diodes and a 4W 1Ohm resister. However, I began just checking the current inline with the diode. Also, I used two different brand new flexdrives... So until I wired them in parallel, I figured it was most likely a battery...

Just finished my first 1.2A build sunday night. After reading about the heft of the 445 diodes, I decided I wanted to crank it up, but I ran into some problems getting > 1.2A out of a single flexdrive: http://laserpointerforums.com/f67/micro-flexdrive-jumpers-64734.html Long story short, wired...

That I did was rebuild the rail system. Didn't seem to help.

Awww baby ducksensors!

Naw, I think I'll just walk away.

A priest and your brother walk into a bar... j/k :crackup:

@qumefox I'll try that first and post back, thanks.

Besides a personal pissing context between myself and Eudaimonium about how we spend our free time, I'll summarize my thoughts: 1. I was/am wrong about the multi-posting. I apologize to the forum, and will heed this rule in the future. 2. Lots of people here have given me some really great...

Good info. Thanks guys. JBTexas, you're right, that would be overkill for me. I'll get a good 18650 charger and post my results.

First, who cares if I have 4 posts in a row? I mean, I'm all for people clearly and concisely presenting information (notice, no bricks of text here?) but you're just being anal. Second, I coiled wire around the multimeter leads, taped them taught, and soldered the rest. Problem solved, but...

Hooked up multimeter in 10A mode in series with the diode and let 'er rip. 1.1A. Wtf?

Just removed that last resister (bottom configuration) with same results. Can these things be hooked up in series?

'Originally settled on 1.225A. Now, after reading about the insane durability of the 445 diodes, I want more. However, my flex drive doesn't seem to want to push more... I can't get it past ~1.225 without it rolling back down to 550ish. I thought these things could usually be cranked up past...

Yeah I'm starting to realize that. Just picked mine up and heard a rattling.. upon inspection there was a nice chunk of solder rolling around in there. :undecided: I guess that's what I get for $6 before shipping!!! Anyway, at 1.72V now.

Agreed.

That's what I'm saying! danefex's story was interesting, though.
