You are correct. I "short circuited" into the Kenom red keychain I have (300mW with the 10880). I'll correct it above.
Thanks, JayRob

Definitely a red build (compared to a blu-ray build), could get more power with a smaller battery such as a 10180 (90mAh), or a 10280 (200mAh). Because the diode is only drawing about 2 volts.
I don't think Kenom has room for a driver in his key chain though...
A blu-ray build on the other hand, especially an 8X, will be drawing probably in the neighborhood of 500mA's from the battery for the FlexDrive to boost the voltage needed for the diode and give it 300mA's current.
So in this case, even my Key Chain 10280 is not a good enough supply for the 8X diode. Although it would work, it would not be very good for the battery, and it would not have a very long run time at all...
But the Key Chain CR2 on the other hand, using a CR2 (or CR2 rechargeable), is a very compatible battery source for such a build!
Thus, the smallest 8X Key Chain blu-ray with a driver! Sweet little build...

Edit: Just tested battery current draw from a CR2 rechargeable (800mAh) battery on my 8X build, which is set at 292mA's... 570mA's battery current draw. Too much for even a 10280. But it would work. Just not good for the battery. Or would it be a very good run time.
Because, as the battery voltage starts to drop, the FlexDrive will start to draw more and more current to boost voltage to what the diode needs. So even though the battery is getting weaker as it drains, the demand gets higher and higher, as the battery drains...
But the Key Chain CR2 handles it just fine!
