I’ve read posts stating to be careful not to overdraw from your batteries. Example, pairing emitters that can pull 20 amps with a 10 amp battery.
Is there any truth to the belief that you can over-pull from a battery and send it into thermal run-away? Anyone with first-hand experience of a thermal event in a hotrod flashlight?
Yes, exercising caution is a given. I was thinking that if it was a substantial issue to be concerned about, there would be people here who have actually had it happen.
I have a D4V2 that I push very hard every day, lots of turbo, purposefully delayed stepdown, etc. I’d hate for that to become a pipe bomb, but it just doesn’t seem to care and the battery doesn’t get too hot.
