I bought a 1.5w laser diode and the people send me a datasheet with a video of them burning stuff, And i noticed there running the diode on 4 1.5v aa batteries!
I thought you're not meant to do that or do the batteries have like a maximum output current?
Can i do the same with my diode or do i have to use a driver, and i'm just wondering if it does damages the laser diode powering directly from battery do you think they just done it to make the laser look smaller i mean they did have over 300 of them so doesn't matter if they damage one right?
