How much current do you think your SS CR2 hosts can handle, jayrob? I'm not experienced with pushing insane currents through tiny hosts, and I saw here that people's tail clickers are melting. http://laserpointerforums.com/f48/marios-class-iv-445nm-kryton-projector-pics-51392.html#post709722

Re: ROUND 4 - CHEAP 445nm 5.6mm (true-blue) diode group buy.

Since we're only talking a CR2 rechargeable, I would guess that 400mA's max will be about what I shoot for in my personal build. Which will still be over 400mW's with a 405-G-1 from what I have read so far...

For the 18650? No problem!

But as you can imagine, some people end up changing their minds, so the only real fair way is to sell the kits on a 'first pay, first serve' basis...

So just PM me and let me know what options you want with the kit!

My Build @ 550mA started flickering when using a single CR2, I would recommend a battery that can supply more current.

Currently 2 CR2's on a groove2 driver is working just fine, but this diode eats through them like nothing (low run time).

My first build on a 14500 works very well and gives decent run time with a boost driver.

Keep that in mind when choosing a host.

If you keep the mA setting on the driver low enough you can get away with a cr2 kit.

Yep... maybe even 350mA's...

But probably 400mA's would be fine.

Also, you would want a CR2 rechargeable. The higher the voltage of the battery, the less it will have to use extra current to boost voltage.

I would recommend this battery:
RCR2 Unprotected Rechargeable Lithium Battery

Yes , I should have said that I was using RCR2 rechargeable batteries Li-ion.

I wonder what the max mA might be for an alkaline powered pen build might be.

I don't know about alkaline, but using 2 X AA e2 lithium supply with my Star Trek Phaser build, it easily gives good current to a 12X at 320mA's. And I have set the 'Hot' option Phaser builds at 400mA's with no complaints.

So that's a diode with a little more voltage demand as well. (meaning more current demand with a Micro Boost)

I would say 2 X AA lithium will give much more current than a single CR2 anyway. They are over 2000mAh capacity...
