When I used the source batteries as shown in the video i'm drawing 3amps.. but if a swap to the charge batteries I draw around 1.3amps.. I'm going to try swapping different parts 1 at a time now, to see if i can better the ampage draw and keep the same brightness.


Just added the resistor connector that comes with the coil..(bolts on to the + side of coil) and it now only draws 1.57 amps.

Also I unplugged the bulb from the circuit while it was running and the amps only dropped to 1.55, interesting!
