    Your LED only gets as much of the current as your resistor will let it.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">

    How much can the LED driver take?

    i'm only asking because I finally got some more rechargeables I plan on soldering together, and if I use 5 I'll still have one left over. I could save that for another saber i guess

    I'm prolonging the fight because I see you need the practice.

    You can actually solder batteries together. That's what you do when you make battery packs. In most cases it's soldering tabs to link ends.

    Cern, it depends on the LED and even the color sometimes.

    1W- 350mA
    3W Red, Red-Orange, Amber- 1540mA
    3W everything else- 1000mA
    5W- 700mA
    K2 Red, Red-Orange, Amber- 700mA
    K2 others- 1500mA

    yeah maul, how the heck do youi think they make the nicad batt packs for your radio control planes and other toys. dude they solder them together, ususally via a small tab the they either use a metal strip or wire to solder to those and then shrink wrap the whole pack together.

    yeah i originally bought 4 batteries with the soldering tabs at radio shack. Then I kinda put my saber on the back burner for a bit...but now apparently RS discontined the Solder Tab batteries, so I' going to have to make do with a regular one.

    I'm prolonging the fight because I see you need the practice.
