That's interesting. Why is it that I am able to get .94A out of my wall-wart powered diode, though? It's supposed to be limited to 500mA, but it seems to be going over....
Am I measuring correctly? I just plugged it in, turned off the switch, and connected my multimeter to the two leads of the switch to complete the circuit and measure the current across it. Is that a good way?
And how can I test how much current a battery is able to supply?
By the way, I would only need around 5 or so D cells =p Would still be a ridiculous amount, and that's why, once I get money, I am going to get a couple of 18650s.
