Upgrade Hell

[Madcow]

Well... first the good news.

I just finished my rechargeable upgrade. This saber now has MR Luke sound and a 4.8v 2000 mAh NIMH rechargeable battery made from 8 AAA cells. The recharge port is a 1.3 mm DC jack.


The "hell" of it is that I spent 2 full days troubleshooting why the relay didn't work like in my mace conversion! (the plan is to use a relay to enable full power from the battery to drive the LED - I was gonna upgrade this to a K2 next). Like this...

Which leads me to my question... Has anyone measured the LED outputs of the MR boards (specifically milliamps)... are they different?
