So, from the search bar I gather that the O-like modules are case, positive, meaning that the positive end of the battery points toward the tailcap. This is the same on ALL hosts, right?

Also, what would be the results of accidentally reversing polarity?

The O-like green modules are case positive because the pump diodes are case positive. Reversing the polarity won't do anything if the driver has reverse polarity protection, which it most likely does.

I'll try it...
Yeah nothing happened.

Thanks Pierce for trying that!

Okay, I feel a lot better now. I'm careless with the battery orientation sometimes, and my two lasers have different battery orientations...
