I'm obsessed with making a higher voltage (5 Volts?) mod. I was all set to make a "MagnumBox" mod until I saw EskimoRoll's nuclear meltdown post.
CR2s are out since there don't seem to be any protected versions but cr123As (16340) do have protected versions (I spend WAY too much time on DE's web site), but, of course, 2 of them freshly charged will be putting out nearly 8.5 volts.
So I'm thinking 2 protected cells with a TI voltage regulator to keep the output at 5 volts.
Any insights, please? Anybody done something similar. Any direct experience with the regulator (exactly which model number is required)?
