I'm interested as well, and the two prices I see are confusing me as well. What's the price for this host? I'd really like to buy one!

Alrighty, thanks Dave!

I've looked around, let me link you guys, and I don't know what battery I will be using or how many I will need. All I know is that I need a Lith Ion cell battery or something along the lines of that because only they give the needed power output. I was looking here for a few choices though...

I plan on making a 300mW Blu Ray laser and would like to know what I can use to make it with. I have the diode on its way and some Aixiz housing. For drivers, I've read about the Flex and Microboost drivers. Which would be better? Also, what host/batteries are ideal (How many batteries would...

Yep, He's been giving me trouble shooting help, looks like there's a short, but there's no visual short that I can find, so I don't know, o.o

I received the driver today, but it appears to be faulty, x.x I was grounded when I took it out of the package with a grounding wrist strap that I use whenever I'm modifying my computer, so no worries there. Anyway, when I hooked up my battery to the + and - sides, I measured the mA with my...

I probably should get one of those too...lol...I think the one I have is only Nimh/Nicd, xD

Thanks Tech!

I'm going to use 3 AAA sized Lithium Ions...anyone know where I can get some that output 3.7-4.2v?

You can't use a 12v AA sized battery for it then?

Like I said, I don't plan on using it much. My alternative is that I use the AA or AAA battery holder inside the mini flashlight that it comes with instead. The battery carriage will most likely hold 3-4 batteries I'm expecting. Are there any other batteries I could use for my laser if I...

Alright. I just don't want it to kill my laser diode b/c of too many volts going through the system. I think the max is 15v on the v3 which is what I've got on the way. Now I just need to find a way to hold the battery in place in the mini flashlight shell I'm going to use, xD

I am using the Rkcstr Driver. I picked up 2 Energizer 12v A23 batteries. Would using all 12 volts be very much overkill? Or would I have to add a resistor into the circuit to save the laser? I would assume that the driver would have something on it to control voltage intake, xD

If the lens gets ruined, I'll purchase the better version. I don't plan on using the laser all that much to be honest, xD Where can I get the battery cells? No one local carries them...and I don't know what kind of battery would have them inside it. What if I were to purchase a 12v battery...

Of course, I won't do that! I have just purchased the Micro Drive V3, one last question though, how many volts will I need to operate my laser with based on the information given above?
