*I have searched the forum, and found no reference to this topic, but then again, I am a forum noob*
I have been trying to read up on different battery types, when I found out there is a Lithium type battery that is totally safe, and doesn't need protective circuitry. The downside but carries a little over half the charge of a Lithium-Ion, and should not be discharged under 2V (this kills of the battery).
Does anyone think/ know if this is something that might have potential, and will this do for a 3W saber? (Provided, I use enough of these batteries)
Maybe once the technology matures, this will replace current batteries.
Already comes in CR123, 14500, 18500 & 18650 packages I believe,
although might be hard to come by some of them.
