Hello everyone, I just had a quick question about the DMG's power draw.

Does it really matter if it is running below 6v or in my case running from 3.7v?

I added 2x rechargeable 3.7v 1000mAh lithium ion batteries into my DMG with a charging circuit
wired to the stock dc jack for charging and everything runs fine. The only difference I've noticed is the brightness
of the backlight which is just a bit darker.

Thanks.

Did you wire them in series? or parallel? you don't really want to charge l-ion batts and not balance charge cells. like if they are wired in parallel they could come out of balance very easy. Same goes for series

I wired them in parallel to make it 2000mAh. They were both fully charged before I added them though.

They may still come out of balance
