Hi, I've got some questions regarding the MadMax converters.
Based on what I've read, I understand that the MadMax would be able to properly regulate driving a P4 emitter (at 700mA for the Plus version) from 1.2V input. Is that correct?
If I was running a single battery setup with this board, could I potentially put a Li-Ion (3.7V nominal) cell in without damaging it? I believe that this would result in simply direct driving the LED through the circuit board, so I wouldn't be expecting any form of regulation, but I wouldn't want to fry the board.
Also, I'm a bit confused as to what is on the backside of this board. Does it has a standard positive battery contact pad and a negative/ground ring around the outside? This would be going into the pill in a Fenix flashlight head.
If it seems that I'm looking at the totally wrong driver, could you suggest something else? What I'm looking for is a driver that can run on 2*AA NiMH cells, while also being able to use a single battery tube for 1*AA NiMH or 1*3.7V Li-Ion. I'm looking for regulated current output of about 0.7A to the emitter. Thanks!
