Which Battery Holder?

[cardcollector]

I haven't used a speaker mount, I've always just glue the speaker to the botttom of the batteries and it has worked fine.
I've found that a hot glue gun works better for mounting the speaker. Rather then superglue, epoxie, etc.

Thanks cc!

On the wiring page, i see that the Royal Blue Lux III requires(?) 3.9 Forward Volts (I am assuming this means it needs 3.9v to run at full brightness.) and 1k mA. If I am understanding the info I got on...

You've got some good information. These guys helping you have got it down... so I'll just add "one kilo-milli-amp" is called "one amp" or 1A.

Good luck!

[Shadar Al'Niende]

ooooh, so 1k mA = 1A?

darn metric system and my crude learning! *shakes fist*

That is why I went for the 4AAA. I will have little space as it is.

Keep in mind some NiCd and NiMH AAA rechargeables only put out 1.2v.

All, not some single cell NiMhs and NiCads put out only 1.2v no matter what their mah rating is.

[Shadar Al'Niende]

I am assuming this is why Li-Ion is preferred?

[Kal El Rah]

The Li-Ions are rated at 3.7v , but their downfall is more complicated wiring to use them in series, which requires a pcb if you are going for in hilt recharging unless of coarse you are going to just take them out to recharge, then no worries and their low mah for size compared to NiMhs.aa and aaa Li-Ions only have a mah rating of 1000mah, the aa NiMhs can be found with up to 2700 mah. Hope that info helps you out some.
