Just don't put them in a pulsar, it might damage the driver ;)

No man, lithium batteries burn circuit boards on lasers that don't have circuit boards.But as long as you have a circuit , your circuit is fine.

They sound cool, but notice they never said they would produce them in common (AA, AAA, CR123, CR2, C, D) battery sizes. I'm sure eventually they will, but they'll probably be more expensive than the lithium ion batteries.

And about that Pulsar... Putting any kind of battery into any kind of WickedLaser product runs the risk of damage. Wickedlasers seem to work best without batteries.
:D

No mention of voltage, one of the most crucial statistics? Poor form.

Oh there's no "probably" about this one if they contain silver.

Non-rechargeable zilver-zinc batteries have been around for ages, but the only version available to consumers are little cells for hearing aids and such. Energy density of those is comparable (a bit lower) to that of lithium cells, but they have their advantages in safety and long shelf life.

As for driving lasers: it doesnt really matter, energy density is not the primary problem. Badly designed drivers or attempts to run powerful pump diodes of 2 aaa cells are, however.

Funny quote from the website:

A Spage-Age Battery is Coming to a Laptop Near You

Space age indeed - they used lots of silver-zinc batteries in various devices... during the 1960s lunar missions, almost 50 years ago ;)

LOL ;D

Anyways, I think these batteries will probably just hold their charge for longer. And anyway, the main issue with portable lasers is heatsinking, not battery power... so I don't think it will change much :)
