I didn’t know the regulator was linear, touché. Still, worst case is 4 - 6A draw per cell. Voltage sag may still be the culprit, but well within the cells’ capabilities. Only way to know for sure would be to test with different cells and compare I suppose.
About 70~80mV higher with 30Q at 5A at high SOC, not a big difference but it can help a bit.
More importantly the 180mV drop across the sense resistor doesn’t help.
With 30Qs and a more reasonable 50mV Vsense, 0.2V would be saved, that’s significant.
Although today is not my birthday, I still want to thank you all. :partying_face:
There’s an interesting thing in there. China has a lunar calendar and a solar calendar. Actually my birthday is counted according to the lunar calendar.
I would describe end result of baking grey ones as silverish golden or other way around. If I remember right it turns more silver the longer it’s baked.
I’m currently trying to throw together the brightest green thrower of all time, with the help of the LEDiL Seanna and the OSRAM LE CG P2AQ , I’ve tested the seanna optic before with the CSLNM1.F1 (W1 Green) and got some impressive results. The LE CG P2AQ can spit out up to 13K lumens at full tilt (15V 10A), at least with the bin that mouser sells, which is the lowest one, some of the higher bins can go 17K+, all of this from a 2.6*3.2mm light emission surface. The emitter should arrive tomorrow and I’ll post some beamshots once it’s all finished. I’m anticipating this one to be one of the greatest throwers of all time.
