Chubby - the best thumb mod of the mini remote, 02.07.20 - files and instruction added

I think you’re getting less time going from 2xAA.
But you’re looking into 600mAh, as there will be two lipos in parallel.

Running time for 2 AA is alot longer them 2 300mah lipo. I am running 2x 300mah lipo now and it will drain the battery if I leave it on over night (9 hours). But I left my regular mini remote on for 24 hours b4 and it keeps on working .

Must be that vreg… For my mods, I stole this idea from @SkaterBoy58 on the other site. Put a diode inline and it’ll drop the voltage about 0.7v, which is perfect.

Other people have used the lipo/lithium-ion output directly, at least somewhat long term, with no ill effect.

I’ll try that. Simpler than the reg.
Btw, once the switch is before the reg, there’s no reason for draining to occur

Draining in 9 hours though, seems like consumption is much greater than normal?

Although 2xAA (~5wh) vs 2x300mah (~2ah) the math kind of works for 24h vs 9h…

EDIT here’s the link to the diode

Would it be complicated make it so it could use a 18650 cells?
