I’d be interested, a king Kong should give 10a, last about half am hour on high though lol, I thought the nine amp driver needed two cells to give the vf for three emitters though, would make the draw on both cells more acceptable.
Certainly stick my name on the list if its less than $100.

Yeah,i think the driver needs 2 cells to operate at 9A

As long as it is below 100 dollars then count me in.

would it be more current than regular model on one cell? I think I read 4.5-4.75 amps at the tail in a review…

Hi Matt, will this upgraded driver allow the SL3 to turn on instantly or will it still require the 1 or more seconds to turn on? Thanks.

The regular model is 4.5A on a single cell. I measured 4.68A on my SL3.
This 9A version might require 2 cells and an extension tube.

We will have to wait for Jake25 for some info.

EDIT - sorry, you answered in post 7
i’m a little confused
‘require 2 cells and extension’
does that mean it won’t work w/ one cell?

As far as i know, the 9A driver might require the voltage of 2 cells to operate. Hopefully we will find out more over the next few days.
A 9A version on 1 cell would be a pocket rocket But i’m not sure if its possible, and wouldn’t suit a lot of cells.

possible? sure.
practical…not so much
I would like the option of being able to use 1 or 2 cells if possible

you will most likely have to use two cells just to handle the draw

Yep, I agree. IMHO, if you’d be able to resist the temptation to use it on high mode, one cell should be able to handle any of the lower settings.

Count me in..
And i see no reason why it couldnt work with a 1 Li-ion cell.
Like most, 1S will output is 75% requiring a 2nd for 100%..
Works for me.
there has to be more interest than this!
TTT!
