Using a 2P instead of 2S string of cells may work better with a 0.1V drop or less by design to operate efficiently. If you used a 2S cell from 5 to 8V then you would need some Buck regulator to regulate more efficiently eg. 1A @ 2.8 to 3.1V range for a good Samsung LED 3W chip but you didn't ask for the ideal solution.or give specs | |
