The maximum current is 500ma but a max of 450ma is recomended for long life. Survival laser sells one that's 445ma, get that one and save the 1.25A for an M140 build.
The above listed parts aren't made to work together, am not sure about that host, have never seen it before and there isn't enough details shown or info listed there to say what parts to buy but the heat sink and driver fit a C6, S4, or Survival Laser stainless steel host. I suggest you buy a C6 and the correct driver.
For the batteries you will need two 16340 Li-ion and a charger.

Replace the resistor at the negative output lead with 0.55Ω and test with a dummy load to make sure it's
operating at 450mA. It's difficult to tell really weather that driver will even fit inside that host. You won't
know until you have the parts in hand unless the seller is willing to give you detailed dimensions.

Well im getting my Host today. I hope atleast the heatsink fits. Or Ill make it fit. I am trying to buy a 445mA but the one at survival lasers costs a little too much for a driver at that current. I know Lazeerer sells some but he hasnt even responded to my PMs. Oh and thanks for the info you gave me it really helps.

With freshly rested eyes, I can say that it should all fit since that does indeed look like a C6 host. For
your driver, it would be better to go with a boost in that host anyway. Then you can power it with a single
18650 like it was designed for.

Ah Thanks for the Specifications. Lazeerer finally PMed me and he has a boost driver he could sell me. I think I have one of those cells I could use. Thanks again.

If you can get an X-boost from Lazeerer that is a great option but when they are not readily available the other choice is the Microboost. Those are the only two drivers I trust with the 405 as they really are the most sensitive diodes out there.:beer:

Yeah, I can personally attest to the quality of the Micro Boost. It is very small though and difficult to
solder. You will also need a contact board as it appears that host does not come with one.
You got safety glasses, right?
