Wow. Sorry that it looks like I abandoned this post. I've only been looking at my inbox. The sale is still pending for payment from another member. I was informed that I would receive the payment today.
Also, the battery is rechargeable. Says on side: TR 123A 880mAh 3.7V
Got this a few days ago, I've got to say, coolest laser I own. Its so small I can take it with me everywhere, the beam is really bright, and this thing burns better than my arctic. Awesome purchase, and props to CTM for making it a painless one.
Although I did have to put one of those extended length focusing rings on it, because I burned my fingers like 10 times focusing it
