I've got a 1.9A X-Boost that is adjustable. I built a 3A test load. I'm not sure what values to expect when hooking the meter up right to the load w/ just a 3.9 V (charge at the moment).
When I hook up my driver, and select the diode for my build, I get some interesting readings. The DMM shows a mV signal at ~1750mV, but quickly drops down to ~1600mV and then shows a slow drop in the reading. I'm assuming this is due to excess heat on the driver and the battery charge dipping as the driver pulls it's load.
I guess what I am asking is whether what I am seeing in the slow current loss is normal.
Secondly, I'd love to hear from other X-Boost owners. I've heatsinked the $h!t out of this thing, but it still gets scorching hot! Looks like I need to add more copper...
Thanks all!
