I have used this driver (http://www.intl-outdoor.com/boost-12aa-cr123a-circuit-board-p-537.html?zenid=16c83db665ac2f2fd20f476b2446c278) in a kit flashlight that I have reviewed here. https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/11505
Match asked a question that I was dreading. Quote ''Also, on that driver...do you have a way of measuring actual emitter current along with tailcap current? I'm curious to see if it delivers the 600ma/1cell and 1000ma/2cell outputs it claims."
With the help of my son, sixty five thumbs and trusty DMM we arrived at the following list of numbers that may or may not make any sense. With different batteries the current reading will more than likely be different. Memory works without a hitch and the modes are well spaced. To sum up I'm happy with my first AA driver.
