Fellow moders help with a newb moder questions. I have reviewed the moder posts but am getting cross eyed on charts
If I wanted to step 7.4v down to 4.0-4.2v what ohm resistor would I use (using a 1.5 ohm atty...I'm willing to risk poping the attys)?
Does Radio Shack carry these (if so, what model/designation is on the package)?
Where/how is the resistor placed in the circuit?
When a resistor is placed in the circuit, every press of the power is still drawing the same amps as if you were running at the full 7.4v but now only delivering 4v as the resistor is consuming the extra power correct?
I want to make a mod that delivers a consistent 4-4.2v to the atty for the duration of the batts and can only think to do it simply with a resistor. I doubt a regulator is as simple as placing a resistor in the circuit but am open to ideas.
Thanks all.
