Quick Check on my Recharge port and accent LED diagram?

[Gnar-Gnar Gin]

Hey Guys,

So I've been honing my skills on 10 PVC sabers (not all are wired, i made a interchangeable system to change the electronics out between a few to save some dollars)

Anyways, I'm happy with where my skills are now, and am planning my first real personal saber. This saber will be my fancy PVC stunt saber, and will have a 7.4v rechargeable battery, recharge port, 3 accent LEDs (20mA, T1s), latching switch, 1000mA BuckPuck, RB Rebelstar LED.

3 questions:
1)Is my recharge port wired right? (same on diagram 1 and 2)
2)which accent LED setup is better and/or will work? (diagram 1 or 2?)
3) how do I know which lead on the accent LED is positive (picture)

(Red wire is positive, black is negative)

1. We would need to see the actual port wiring - the idea seems ok, but it can be screwed up.
2. #1 is better.
3. The longer lead is typically the positive side.

Thanks FJK!!!

I don't have the actual recharge port yet, but will do a final check once I have it.

On the recharge port, you generally have the red wires on a shared terminal, and the black wires split on the other two. That way the negative is broken by the kill switch.

Thanks SS, I did have that backwards!

So, I just tried wiring the accent LED's now that I know which led is + and can confirm that option 1 works great, and option 2 doesn't work at all (as expected)

Yeah, option 2 would have you dividing the 20mA from the DynaOhm across three LEDs. Each would only be getting about 6.7mA, and are unlikely to light up.
