Re: FS: Star Trek Phaser Parts! 'Hot' Option Available! Or, Individual Parts...
I've tested a 445 diode in one at 650mA's and it works perfectly...
And the one that removed (above) got, was set at 650mA's for a 445 build, as well as a couple of other 'Hot' option kits that I have shipped)
So that would still be a class 4 Phaser build even with an AixiZ 445 lens.
You must use Energizer e2 lithiums. (2 X AA)
Remember that the batteries are also giving some current for the sound board, as well as the 'armed indicator' LED that I put in the sound knob.
It's not a whole lot of current (about 120mA's for the sound board, and about 15mA's for the LED), but that's why the need for the lithium's.
Now I can't say for sure if it will do more. Because I only tested at 650mA's. But it may just be able to do more. (V5 FlexDrive needed, not Micro Boost)
I did do some testing with Li-Ions in parallel, which would work fine, but there are reasons that I don't like that idea.
The battery compartment would need some modification to fit them. (slightly longer)
And also there would need to be the use of some silicon diodes to drop voltage to the leads going to the sound board, as well as the 3 volt LED.
When I tested without the silicon diodes, the sound board got hot and would cut out after about 20 seconds. And the LED got hot too.
But all things considered, the lithium primaries in series, still have more capacity than the Li-Ions in parallel would. So that's why I recommend sticking with 2 X Energizer e2 lithium AA's...
