Greetings, I'm trying to use a single 3.7v 18650 with a boost driver (3.7-4.2V > 4.5-6.0V), to run a m140. I'm trying to get the full 1.8A to the diode, but can't get past 1.36A. There's a potentiometer on the driver and it ranges from about 0.9A to 1.36A in 200degrees-ish, then for the remaining 160 degrees-ish it's capped at 1.36A. I wonder if the problem might just be that the battery can't put out enough amps? I'm using a protected 18650 rather than un-protected, just for the ease of charging/no worry of damaging by discharging to much. Must I use an unprotected 18650 to get my full 1.8A?
Any help is appreciated, Steve.
