So I finally got a powerful flashlight/headlight.
Just wondering, rather than use the 18650 batteries (3.7 Li-ion), or rigging up a clunky dc-dc converter, couldn't I just tap the controller or the CA? I know some CA's have an aux output, but mine doesn't?
Anyone got pics of how/where to tap the CA, if that will work? I don't want to risk damaging it.
I've got a great DC-DC converter but it's max 60V, and my pack runs at 80V, so I'd have to tap part of the pack only... If the controller runs 12-15V onboard somewhere, I could easily use the DC-DC converter to bring that down to 4V for the light. I'm lazy and want to minimize connections!
Thanks!
PS. I think the light draws up to an 1A?
