TV-B-Gone not working on 3 cells / 4.5V - 1 Cell Li-Ion

Post by nioko »

Hello Everyone

I've built a TV-B-Gone a while ago, as it states 3-5V on the PCB I've decided to run it on a single Li-Ion cell, but it's not working (status Led stays dark) on ~4V at all. It's working perfectly on 3V / 2AA.

Any Ideas? I've been thinking about using a Diode to drop 0.7V, but I'd prefer if it works how it should...

Regards,
Nioko

Maybe there is something wrong with your Li-Ion? Is it charged properly?

For the record, I have no problem running mine on 3x AA NiMH cells (3.6v)
