Vamo

[Nightly_Paradox]

I got an old V5 vamo laying around that the center pin messed up on. Would it be possible to mod the board itself for more wattage since it's only limited to 15w?

If possible I would like to modify the main board itself then use it in a regulated bloc project.

Anything is possible but highly doubt it

Reverse engineer the circuit. Find the limit. Replace/reprogram the component that limits the output. Sure, except my oldest boy is an EE with TI, and I wouldn't even ask him to exert the effort. Matter of fact, I have a Zmax board that is inside a mod that went belly up. The mod is a paperweight due to the effort it would take to repair/replace the circuit. It's a really nice mod, too.

All I'm getting at is I don't think the juice is worth the squeeze for what you're brainstorming. It may be possible, but at what cost?

Run that old Vamo board with two batts in series. This will bump the max power up quite a bit!

Hey neighbor!

I had ended up giving it to my neighbor to toy around with and we was thinking what we could push out of it, we do like to sit down and tinker with electronics. Between the both of us we got enough stuff to open up a small warehouse when it comes to parts. (Capacitors, resisters, ic chips, ect.)

After he toyed with the unregulated box I had built and what we was able to push through it he was pretty impressed.
