The title basically said it,
Let's say I had a 5mW green laser pen and it obviously uses AAA alkaline batteries. If I were to replace the batteries with AAA lithium energizer primary batteries, wouldn't the current from the lithium batteries be greater than alkaline batteries (as in would the extra current being produced in comparison to the alkaline ones cause the diode to be overrun and result in lower diode life)?
Or would the diode 'automatically' Not draw an extra amount of current?
Though I'm still rather new to lasers, I would love to use lithium, but I need answers first
