Hello..

I'm currently in the US and I just bought a laser from a fella here and I forgot about batteries and a charger. I just asked the seller about what kind of batteries it runs on and they are 3.7V 16340 x2. My budget is ~$25 for them. Any tips on good places where to buy them? I'm only here for about 20 days more, so pretty quick shipping would be nice. And best of all, if someone here could sell them. I'm not at all used to the post system in the US, the country it so big! It takes like up to 10 days for a package to arrive (if I have read right) while it back in Sweden with cheap shipping takes 18 hours..

Batteryjunction seems cheap, what mAh are good and what brand? They are the ordinary Aurora C6 hosts so you should know. I don't want to blow up my laser.

Thanks.

What laser did you buy? If it requires a high current draw I recommend getting two of these -> AW IMR16340 550 mAh IMR CR123 size LiMN Rechargeable Lithium Battery

The charger: I'd go with this -> RCR123A Battery Charger Its fast shipping and last time I bought one it had a smart charge full charge LED indication light which is a plus with li-ion batteries.

both sources above are fast to ship and those batteries are some of the best 16340's

Good luck :beer:

Well, the charger is good but I wouldn't trust Trustfire's batteries. Cheapy chineses...

You should really go with the AW brand - but its more expensive

Hello again.

But would they work as a temporary solution?

Thanks.

Yeah, but the output may be slighty lower...

I used a Trustfire 18650 with my 1.2A 445nm build and the output was 200-300mW... :(
