I am planning to build lsr with lpc-826 diode with lm317 driver
what battery(batteries) I need to power it? (570mA)

Need 7 what? Also, if this is like many of the other red diodes, direct driving with 2x1.5V batteries works as long as your diode is heatsinked. I have done his with 635, and 660 diodes and never had an issue. Cheers.

lol i read it too quickly. i thought he asked for the voltage.
with lm317 use 2 3.7v lithium batteries.

2 cr123s in series should work and fit any 18650 hosts like the hotlights

2x CR123 is kind of a pain to fit in hotlights.
Grab 2x 10440s. Then just solder a piece of wire across the third 10440 battery slot. Two of those batteries will give you enough voltage and enough current to power an LM317 based driver for a red diode.
Simple, more than capable, and leaves you lots of room in the pill to build the driver without needing to modify the hotlight.

I found cr2 3.7v but I have one more problem because I'm nooob in electronics
How i can connect it to battery and clicky switch??
can i just wire + and - of driver and connect spring to it?

Do you plan on using the driver in a hotlight host? Hotlights usually don't have a clicky switch on the tail. In a hotlight you connect the (-) from your driver to a bare metal part of the host housing. The (+) is coming from the front metal tab of the switch. Somebody here on the forum made a nice guide about the hotlights with really nice pictures.
