tried using my first saber again today and it got super hot after about 20 minutes. i pulled it apart and the battery was warm and the buckpuck and LED heatsink was super hot. the setup is a 7.4V Li-Ion battery stick, 1000mA buckpuck, and a white P4 with an accent LED and a PLI. i pulled the LED out and put it in my second saber (same LED and quick connect setup - just resistored inside instead) and it runs cool as normal.

i then pulled out my trusty multimeter, set it for 2000mA and got an out of range reading across the output for the buckpuck... fortunately i have the old shunt for it and with that in i get a reading of 2.3A...

has anyone else had a buckpuck do anything like this before? should i pitch it or possibly try to use it somehow later? there's no physical damage or shorting anywhere.
