Dear All,
My laser setup using DDL's PSU recently ran out of battery. I was previously powering it with 4 x CR123A Lithium cells putting out a total of 12v.
Recently I bought 4 x CR123 (smaller) batteries and used those but the voltage output is of course still 12v.
The thing is, my LD is now very bright and it seems to be more powerful that it was the last time. I know it's silly to have to ask this here but I have recently re-located to the UK and I don't have a DMM with me at the moment so I can't measure the new current and voltage output that the PSU is putting out.
My question would be, assuming the current and voltage pots on the PSU are untouched, is it possible that the PSU's output has now changed simply because of a change in battery configuration (but same battery voltage)? Wouldn't the PSU's output be 'locked' by the pots and be regulated accordingly?
Thanks guys.
