I have a 6v battery ranging from 5.5 to 6.5v. and it's 4.5AH
I have 16 LEDs I would like to run off it using a LM317T.
Each LED is 1.5-1.6v
What I would like to is run a series of 2 LEDs x 8 paralle.
So each pair would need around 3.2volts.
The symatics on the back of the package for the LM317T are confusing to me. If some one knows how to limit this chip could you put it in laymans terms?
I wouldn't mind if someone wanted to post a diagram of the project. But I still want to learn.
These are the specs on the LEDs
Voltage: 1.5V~1.6V
Current: 140mA, Peak(pulse): 700mA
Power: 200mW
Size: 10mm
Wavelenghth: 850nm
Thank You.
