Making a 2.8 amp (2800ma) current limiting board with 5 way functions

Left: A 1050ma -  5 way board with one more 7135 current limiter chip added to make it a 1400ma board.
Right: 1400ma Board jumpered to the 5 way board, which is now a 1400ma board
Note that the last 5 way boards I received from DX did not have a place for a 4th 7135 chip, they changed the design.
I sold all the 6190 boards I had because they were no good for the mod without a place for a 4th chip

Notes:
The rear gold areas on these boards are connected through the board to the other side with gold circuit traces.
You can connect your Battery + and Battery - connections to the rear of the boards and the front side will be connected automatically
Your boards may look different from these
Some boards I have seen have nice round pads on the front where you can easily solder your jumper wires.

Here's the basics of how it is all connected
The Black wire on the left photo is the LED - connection = Blue text
The Red wire on the left photo is the Battery + connection = Red text
The outside ring on each board is the Battery - connection = Black text

You make a Battery + and Battery - to one board, it does not matter which one.
You can use the backs of the boards to make these connections
You make a Battery + jumper from one 7135 chip + on one board to a 7135 chip + on the other board
You make a Led - from one 7135 chip LED - on one board to the LED - on the other board
You make a Battery - jumper from one board to the other board

The LED + is connected to the Battery + connection.
The back of the boards may be easier to make the LED + connection point
The LED - connection is made to the front of either board at one of the LED - points

The Boards are then folded over into a sandwich and the Battery - connections are jumpered together.

The LED below is a SSC P7 900 lumen LED.
I have wired up a test rig using 3 x 3.6volt 2400mah Li-On batteries wired in parallel.
A flashlight clicky switch and the Board sandwich.
The LED below was drawing over 3 amps when hooked straight to the battery pack without any current limiting.

Function one is full blast with 2.9 amps (2900 ma) of current limiting. Function 2 is Low 1 which was limited at .83 amps (830 ma)

Function 3 is Low 2 which was limited at .15 amps (150 ma) Function 4 was a constant flashing mode which was limited at 1.2 amps (1200 ma)
I don't show function 5. It looked like it was flashing S.O.S.
 The flashing would start, do some Morse code flashing and then stop for a few seconds
It would start over again after a few seconds.
