Power question

[bjorn_1991]

Hi, i have a 07 Hasbro ForceFX running on 3xAAA with its stock battery holder.
I'm planning on doing a luxeon conversion with a buckpuck, and i was thinking
of changing the batteryholder for a 4xAA instead.

My question is: Can the original soundboard take the increased
power or is there another more preferable power-"change"?

I feel that since i will have a luxeon on it
3xAAA will not last very long.

I'm using standard 1,5V batteries and is planning och
doing so with the batterypack-mod too.

I would go with the 4AA, but go with rechargeable. That will put you at 4.8v, Hasbro like that ! Not much more though. Also drop the puck, Force Fx generate enough current for a single Lux. Just wire it off the board. Follow the wiring diagrams posted on these forums for your particular board.

Okay, thank you so much for responding and the advice!
It isn't easy being a beginner with all the stuff around saberbuilding/modding.. Hehe

So you are sure no buckpuck is needed? I don't want to risk frying the LED..
I was thinking about ordering this along with the conversion kit:http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Build-Your-Own-Seoul-P4-Electronics-Kit-P469.aspx

Then i have everything i need i guess, what do you think?

There is always a chance, simply depends on what led your using. All you need to do is determine the correct resistor though.
