Thank you for the input! Yeah, it's the 2600mAh pack. Alright, so I'll charge it for about an hour and hope nothing explodes :)

I know it's a stupid question and that I should stick to the specifications. I'm just asking if that'd be pushing the battery TOO hard.
Hey there, forums!
So, I want to charge my saber for the new movie. I have the 3.7V li-ion battery, and the charger recommends that I use a 4.2V, .5A charger.
I would love to buy one from the...
oh lawdy... don't look directly at it XD
your budget for a STUNT saber is 300 bucks?! You're gonna make one kickass saber lol. My sound saber cost 330 :O
thank ye ^_^ I'm planning my next one right now. I've already named her "Borealis''
I got some pics for ya :P

in your case, you'd just attach the third resistor onto that remaining positive and group that loose negative up with the rest :D That way,...
will do :)
The resistors would go inline with the respective wires. One for each positive or negative wire. (I favor putting each resistor on each positive wire).
Here are the pics:

are you running all three dyes in series or parallel? (This matters A LOT)
I just finished wiring my tri cree, and you'll find that it's not as difficult as it may seem. Since you're using three whites, I'm going to assume you're running all of these parallel. If that's the...
oh lol. I'm the president of the Star Wars club in my high school, and we're building our sabers with the power of fundraising :D
*sniff* you're a good friend
freakin nice weathering, dude. That is 10/10 amazing!
He 3D printed it
ahh I have experience on a lathe and mill also, but I don't have the tools ;-;
man that's a DAMN FINE saber! Hope it turns out really really good ;)
*Showers you in luck and good tidings
nvm I remembered that resistors are always safer the more you go up. My brain had a stupid moment lawl.
ooh, so I found a .22 ohm, 2W resistor. Can I use these for the greens, since I calculated 0.12 would be the resistance value and still not blow the LED? (The 2 watts should take care of any heat...
how the heck did you render that shroud?! (nice shroud, btw)
I see. So it'd just be better to wire two .48 ohm 1/2W resistors on each respective wire, THEN splice then off to the board.
Yeah Madcow's method seems a bit more professional. I'm still a...
oh? In Madcow's video, he twisted the two positives and negatives together and just added one resistor...
so, then I attach one resistor to where the two wires splice, then put the other on the...
okay, so I re-did the math.
For greens: (I will be wiring the two in parallel, so I only use one resistor where they splice, right?) I will need one .48 ohm, 1/2W resistor.
For the white: I...
hm... well for example I got 0.12 for the resistance, so should I round that to a .48 ohm 1/2W resistor for the greens and the same for the white?
yeah a 3.7V lithium ion battery. 1 ohm, 2 watt resistors (for both the green and the single white die) would keep them from frying, right? That's what I got from the "Down and Dirty" thing...
