Hey guys I'm a first time poster with little EE experience. I recently assembled a pulsing LED circuit using the schematic below. I added four more LED lights (wired in parallel) and tried to power the circuit using four AA (NiMh) rechargeable batteries (wired in series) but the batteries don't provide enough voltage. Is the joule thief my only option if I MUST use these LED's and batteries:
Battery specs:
AA NiMh Rechargeable
1.2 V - 2500 mAh
LED specs:
3.3 - 3.8 FW voltage
20 mAh forward current
Battery specs:
