Original circuit restored without the csr's
leds are much brighter now without csr's, currents also stronger.
Green signal again ex csr1 current White signal ex csr2 current.
input current DMM shows 50mA (average), input voltage still 12.5V.
So in any case i have tested (with or without csr's, with or without coil, etc.) i find that the csr2 position always shows more current compared to csr1 position.
I know current alone is not power, but i cannot explain this.

Hi Itsu With the 5% duty cycle you only need to use one CSR to see power from the battery to the cap and from the cap to the coil. Why? well a cap does not work the same as a battery as we know, a cap will give up whatever we put across it much quicker than a battery. So lets turn % into seconds The cap is being charged for 95 seconds to replace the power taken out of the cap in 5 seconds. So if we measure on the CSR1 1mA = 95mA in 95 seconds, the CSR2 would measure 19mA, 19 X 5=95mA to keep the balance. Naturally this is all without a load, so real tests will vary a bit. This is why CSR2 is a lot more. As I have said, it is all a question of TIME FRAME (@ 50% duty things will be a lot different, but you would have to increase the frequency or blow your transistor).
