<--- This is what I did when I read that you bought one of these. I'm sorry you wasted $19 on this driver. Another innocent victim. Heartache and sorrow lie in your future.
Joking aside, these are possibly the worst driver for reliability and consistency out there. The sting is even worse considering the price. 2 out of the 3 I've used died within a few hours. The other got stuck in the low mode and wouldn't switch anymore. I ended up putting zener modded FETs in all of them (TR-J12 & TR-J18). The output was better, the mode spacing was better, and the PWM was better. Best of all: I know the driver won't quit on me (I had to redo all 3 lights I did with the KD driver).
They call it the "Beast Driver"...but it isn't the good kind of beast!
Hmmm. How do you power 5 XM-L/2’s in series from three li-ions?
And its no spilt milk. I can experiment with the stock driver too, see how it takes to powering XM-L2’s since they were all in series to begin with, maybe try boosting it. And I have the BTU coming in the mail soon too. _
With 3 cells, wire 3 emitters in series, then 2 of those 3 emitters will get parallel emitters. Yes, it is unbalanced, but it actually works well (knock on wood).
