  • im curious, whats the runtime on those 3 cells?

  • @sininetigu Considering LEDs are way lower in consumption compared to the filament bulb, it's going to last a lot longer. It's also brighter as well!. With this circuit, it's running at about 18 mA in current. With those energizer cells which are rated 55mAH, it should run about three hours. Remember, you still have spare cells you can use from just a single A123 battery. Thanks for viewing!

  • Cant you just use the whole of the A23 12v and use a higher value resistor? to around 4.5v

    thanks

  • @SoundOut260 Technically, you can but it reduces the efficiency of the mod. You're going to add resistor anyway, why not just use just three cells, right? Thanks for viewing.

  • nice mod just 1 question do all A23 12v brands have the 8little cells in them thnks

  • @SoundOut260 Yes, it's standard for A123.

see all
