EDIT: I was wrong (and too cautious) to be alarmed by the continuity test.

Drlava confirmed less than 1ohm resistance is to be expected between diode - and batt -.

Laser works fine. Will post beam shots when 445 lens arrives, in 445 section. Will be up for sale soon.

Re: Driver help

your meter is limited to 400ma most likely do you have an infused port that goes to 10a on your meter?

What does that have to do with my question ?

I'm checking for continuity not current.

I'm using a digital multimeter. There is no fuse to blow since I am only testing for continuity.

There is NO POWER being applied to the driver.

Re: Driver help

No reply eh... I'm just gonna go ahead and power the damn thing.

I just hope the continuity test between diode - / driver - I did is wrong.

EDIT: Ehh I couldn't lol.

Don't wanna blow 80$ worth of diode/driver....
