On a whim, I ordered a (supposedly) 200mW version each of a 405, 532 and 650nm laser from assassinlasers.com in a combo pack for $110. Before I ordered, I asked their customer service several questions via email (including the actual power of each). They seemed to respond quickly, though they didn't really answer my specific questions until pressed. After I finally got the answers I thought I needed, I ordered.
I have now spent the last week trying to get them to answer very specific questions about the Li-ion batteries that I need to use (I have never owned anything that used them), only to get vague seemingly scripted and sometimes contradictory responses, when I actually get one at all! They seem to be sending UltraFire 18650 3000mAh 3.7v batteries, but are only telling me to use the ones they provide (2500-3000mAh) and otherwise, won't even say the brand or whether they are protected or not. This makes me wonder if I should have ordered from them in the first place.
Does anyone know if this company provides a reliable product? (I linked there from this site.)
I also would like to know about the best batteries and multiple chargers for them. They will send me one battery and a single charger for each laser, which means I'll have to find three open outlets in my house to charge all three at once, and I'll have to charge them for 8 hours before I can even use them when I finally get the lasers!:banghead:
How much does the capacity matter (above or below 3000mAh), as far as being dangerous to the circuitry.
Does the protected status matter other than while charging?
Sorry I've been rambling, but they have not responded to me in days and I'm worried I might have made a mistake.
Any advice/opinions would be appreciated.
Thank you.:thanks:
