I recently purchased 650nm 20x DVD burner diode.
(HighTechDealZ - 650nm 20x DVD Burner LPC815 Laser in Aixiz Module)
With help from this forum, I've narrowed down my driver choice to a Mohgasm Linear Driver. (Mohgasm Linear Driver - $12.00 : Mohgasm!, Because it feels so good.)
The seller of the laser recommends driving the diode at 380mA, so I was panning to purchase the 378mA pre-assembled driver.
My questions are: Should I power this driver with 2 or 4 3.7v Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries? What are the advantages and disadvantages of buying
driver with a higher mA rating? I plan to heat-sink the driver, so what would be the best driver/battery combination to build an effective burning laser with this diode?
Thanks in advance for the help!
