'''NANJG 112A''' 0.9-4.2V 1000mA boost driver from KD with stars on the back that can be soldered to provide different modes. Supposedly buck/boost with an inductor. Seems well-regulated since current draw increases as voltage of li-ion decreases, but current draw declines with voltage on 1.2V NiMH. Works with AA or li-ion, but with 2xAA or 1xCR123A the low-voltage warning will cause flashing. 3-mode grouping has low and medium pretty close together. This driver doesn't seem to be available anymore though.

[[File:Nanjg101ak.jpg|thumb|The NANJG 101-AK, 4x7135 version]]'''NANJG ROHS 101-AK''' 2.8-6V linear regulator. Two versions, one by DX is a 3x7135 1050mAh driver with 3 (LMH), 5, or 7 modes selectable by clicky. Has room on board to add 4th 7135 chip for 1400mAh output [http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.7612~r.72863811 DX], but on at least one recent order the buyer received a NANJG AK47 instead.

'''NANJG | '''NANJG 105''' 8x7135 linear regulator driver advertised at KD as 1100mA, but is actually 2800mA. Runs off a single lithium-ion battery (which won't stay at 2.8A for long). Advertised as 5 modes, but has stars on the back similar to the other NANJG drivers that allow different groups of modes to be hardwired. At one time this was sold by Shiningbeam, but now they only sell the version below. [http://www.kaidomain.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductID=10995 KD] | ||
'''NANJG 106''' Similar to the NANJG 105 above, but the 7135's on the bottom are laid out radially and lacks stars to set modes. Available at [http://www.shiningbeam.com/servlet/the-132/3-dsh-Mode-Regulated-Circuit-Board/Detail Shiningbeam]. | |||
