I picked up some RCR123A Ultra Fire 3.7V 880mah Protected batteries. They did the trick!!! It's looking good now! I had to quickly set the pot because the diodes got extremely hot quick but she's good to go now. Thank you everyone for your responses. :thanks:

lol I didn't say no such thing. But if you must know, I got it from Cajun lasers

Get what from?

Excuse me, its a 10W Resistor, wire wound from radioshack

I could run two 18650's but I'm pretty sure I'd need an extension tube for my host to do such.

BTW I'm not using the high range solder jumper. I realize if I do that or make contact my lowest would be 1.8A. Thanks guys! I'll get those batteries and hit ya back with an update

Yes Fiddy is correct they are 3V max. I didn't take into account how much the driver actually consumes. I'll pick up some ultrafire rechargeable, the ones I have are weak I realized. It's only putting out 3.5 volts across the driver. Okay so basically one mV across a 1 ohm = 1 mA, that...

I've read posts upon posts and none directly answer to the issue I'm having. I built a test load for the 2W m140 diode I purchased. It's 4 N5404 (3A max) with a 1 Ohm resistor(10A max) in a series hooked to the 3A Blitzbuck driver. My battery source is two C123A batteries. ( checked via my...

Lol Yeah no kidding, that's actually what I meant. Thank you, I'll be sure to post pictures and videos:wave:

Hello everyone, I'm literally new to these forums but I'm not quite a noob completely when it comes to lasers. I've built two others smaller lasers, both 650nm, one 30mV and the other 200mV. I'm been on these forums looking around for answers and such for my new project: I figured it was only...
