So I have a vtca5 battery. Before I toss it in there, looking for feedback on what could go wrong here. With my limited knowledge of amperage/current principles, I’m afraid that I may burn the LED. Thoughts?
Fire it up. LED’s are inexpensive. Do you have a clamp meter? You can look up the 3v 50.2’s max output and just turn it on high to see where you are with voltage. Worst case it burns up. You could put a lower output battery to start. I’m no expert. Hopefully you did your homework before you decided on components. Being that I’m not familiar with the driver, is it an FET?
You have to run a wire to connect the body to the negative side of the battery. Turn the light on in each mode to detect amps. This should give you the amount of power going to the LED. There are several videos on here. I will try and find one for you to watch.
