Measuring amps is easy enough. Remove the tail cap, put one
lead of ammeter on the back of the battery pack. Other lead
on the inside threads of the case / barrel.

Can't remember where I heard this, but the three AAA
flashlights from HF run max amperage, from the AAA cells. To
use that light module on D cells for example, would need a
current limiting resistor of some value. Not sure what
value.

Question: how did you measure the amps pulled? That is,
where
and how did you break the circuit so you could insert the
ammeter (part of a vom)? At least in my 3-AAA led lights
and headlamps, it's a pretty tight fit.

Obviously you have some neat technique that I'd like to
learn!


Thanks,
