I got the juice rechargables from ebay but they do not fit in the default case of the dilda. Do i need a bigger case?

Is the whole battery "tight" or just the rear end (with the protection circuit)?

Is the interior of the Dilda anodized?

Peace,

The batteries are too thick in diameter and too long.


Measure them.  You may have gotten CR123's instead of CR2's.  CR123's are 17mmx33mm  CR2's are 15mmx26mm

Do they have any numbers/letters printed on the side?

They are CR2123's i already have some regular cr2's for it that work fine but people said that there was a 20% increase in power with the 123's so i ordered some off of ebay to try.

They either told you wrong or you misunderstood. CR123's will not fit into the laser. Are your CR2 rechargeable batteries 3.0V or 3.6V?

my cr2's are 3.0 volts but people said that if I got the 3.6 volt ones that i would have a 20% power increase. Is there a 3.6v regular cr2?

There's the problem.  Yes.  There are 3.6V CR2's.  They are harder to find, but they are available.  You need a set of 3.6V CR2's to increase the output of your laser.

As you have discovered, CR123's will NOT fit. Sorry.

Peace,
dave
