[QUOTE="Phoenix, post: 521485, member: 8133"] 3V may or may not destroy it, depends on what it has been designed to accept, but unless its documented anywhere, then you best stick with the 1.5v. Trying it already is probably best described as a courageous decision.... You might just get away with one one of the LM2596 converter modules you can get from amazon/ebay/aliexpress, they need 1.5v "headroom" on the supply above the voltage you want out, but as your supply will probably be floating above 3v rather than under it as most supplies with basic regualtion do. How much current does the unit draw? if much more than an amp then you might have to put a heatsink on the IC [/QUOTE]
