Question about Dilda configuration?

I just have a quick question.

is it possible to use a 18650 Li-ion batter for this product? If it is even possible, could/would it blow the diode?

180~200mW Red laser/ adjustable foucus£­>5~200mw Red laser pointer£­>Laser&lighting products£­>www.0-like.com

Thanks!!

Dude, WTF stop double posting and use the freaking search button like everyone else does. Then if you cannot find an answer (which is impossible because the dilds is the most talked about laser) then post 1 question. We dont help people that dont help themselves.

And no one is going to PM you about deals, or just give you lasers. We dont like lazy members. Do your own work, make some friends, and then things will fall into place for you if your an honest decent person. If not, dont waste your time.

I'm not sure if the 18650 would fit in the laser; CR123 batteries are 17mm in diameter, while 18650 Li-ions are 18mm. If the inner diameter of this host is > 18mm it could fit. But even if it did fit, 3.6v from the battery probably isn't enough to run the laser at full power. This laser needs a good 6v+ if you want to get the full 200mw from it. So unless you're OK with a severely underpowered laser, an 18650 will NOT work.

Also, like Tech Junkie said. Try not to double post. Hit the submit button once, be patient. It may take a while to register, but it will work.

I apologize for double posting, i didn't realize if i clicked the submit button more than once that it would post more than one thread. I would hope that you would please accept my apology. I did some looking around the forum and i couldn't find an answer to this specific question. I don't know how to edit my thread so i couldn't add this to my own thread. So i apologize once again. Hope we can get set off on another threat.

Thanks,

Timmy

Thank you very much for the information! it has helped me greatly.

i apologize also to you, i did not mean to double post i just didn't realize that if i hit the submit button more than once, that it adds more than one thread! i was also not aware that you could EDIT your threads; so i didn't know i could've just added a question to my other thread.

Sincerest apologies,
Timmy
