I'm soon getting an Aries-200 which is running off of two C-primaries. I don't like those and want to make a adaptor for one 18650 http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.5790
On full charge it'll be at 4.2V so if I add a 1N40xx diode (which one should I use?) the voltage will drop to 3.5V. Still 0.5V too much though.
Laserglow says that the Aries -series use a 1.2W diode pump set to 1W. At 1W the current probably is 1.1A, and 1.2W at 1.3A.
With ohm's law I came up with that if I let the laser run off 3.5V the current should be around 1.28A. Somewhat safe?
Anyone want to add/correct anything? Thanks!
