Wow! I never knew the Arctic was so huge. It looks like a Maglite compared to the SL.

Neither of them were fully charged at the time of the screenshot. The Arctic was about to die, and the SL was straight out of the box (So wasn't at ideal performance
The Juice batteries are shipped with very little charge so you may want to run that comparison again.
Ah I see, anyways I'm looking for ideal 2x18650 rechargeable batteries for this laser, know any good ones? (And a charger?)
I was thinking of these:

But I'm not sure if I should get those

I usually suggest LarryDFW for 18650 batteries. Great price on good quality batteries. He also has a charger available. He is in the US though, so I don't know about shipping to Canada. You might want to check with him.

EDIT: Looks like he does ship international for a modest additional charge.

I'll let someone else try and answer that one for you. I'm by far not a battery expert. The only 18650's I have I either harvested myself from old laptop batteries (NOT recommended, unless you are certain of you skill level, since they are potentially dangerous and have been known to explode when shorted), or I've bought from him.
The only thing I can say for certain is that DX will take much longer to ship them.

Well there you go. Looks like with the charger you ordered you should be all set. Assuming those aren't too far gone to take a charge. I've been pretty lucky with the ones I have harvested that way. I don't use them for any highly demanding uses but they still seem to be working for me.

Sent you a PM about a laser purchase. I hope it's alright seeing as this is my first post.
So glad I found these forums. Not only for purchasing, but for recommendations and what seems to be a great community.

I've actually never had to clean a lens because i keep them covered at all times unless in use. I would probably use canned air to blow the dust off. Do a forum search and I'm sure you'll find something.
