RECOMMENDED BATTERIES CHART
These batteries work for both Tri-Cree and Neopixel setups.
For Tri-Cree LED setup choose the one with highest capacity value (
mAh
), for Neopixel setup choose the one with
highest max drain value (
A
).
mAh
– milliamperes per hour: the battery energy capacity rating, means how long the battery will run at a single charge
–
run time
A
– Amperes: the battery energy max drain rating, means how much Amperes this battery can provide continuousl
–
blade brightness performance under high current load
For Tri-Cree LED setup batteries with 2-3A drain rating are OK (can be higher, but lower are not recommended).
For Neopixel setup batteries with 10-15A drain rating are recommended (can be higher, but lower are not recom-
mended). For battery sizes 14500, 14650, 16650, 18350, 18500 it’s hard or impossible to find a good capacity with
high drain rating, so 5-8A examples from the chart above are best options.
