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!

true
but you can bet I’d but batteries that could do it - how cool would it be to stick that little thing in your jacket pocket. I’m sure I’d rarely use that mode, but I bet it’d put a big smile on my face every time…

Yeah, that sounds about right. 75% in 1 cell and 100% on 2 cells. I’d be happy with that.
