I'm running two 3.7 volt batteries in parallel and wiring it to a tri cree led in parallel for bbw. My sound board can take 3 aaas or 3.7 to 4.7 volts, but the high amps will ruin it, no? Should I use a transistor to limit amps to the soundboard, or possibly a buckpuck?

6800 amps is a massive amount of current. I think you mean milliamps (1/1000 of an amp), but the unit you're looking for is milliamp hours (mAh) which measures the capacity of your battery, not the current it outputs.

if only
I wish I could get 6800 amps in a lightsaber ............it would be bright (surface of the sun bright)
and I think with that much power I could make a real one ...........melting plasma the works
not sure about battery life

but on a serious note connecting your two batts in parallel to the board should do no harm as its still only about 4 volts
any harm may come from any high current leds you connect to it if the board is not rated for it
which sound board are you using

Im using a 2015 bladebuilders Obi wan board. Im thinking of using just one 3.7 volt battery with 3 AAAs, a blue Luxeon rebel LED rated at either 350 Ma or 700 Ma. I'll be using a PNP transistor to power the LED but im not sure if i should get the 350 Ma or 700 Ma LED. Do the amps make a difference?
