Hi All, I recently bought a laser of 200mw from Focaprice and came with a rechageable Battery.

I need to know, because in other pages says "Dont place the batteries on your laser inmediately after fully charge" I think because some batteries fully charged are at 3.3-3.7v and my laser just use 3v, The question is.. What I need to do to "low" the voltage to 3v?

You should be fine putting the battery in as is. If you're paranoid, you can get a multimeter and drain the battery to the appropriate voltage though.

If the laser and driver were designed to use li-ion batteries you should be fine. Li-ion is 4.2 VDC fully charged.

My 600nm uses a LPC-815 diode, rkcstr driver and 2x14500. This driver runs a little warm above 7.5 VDC so I bleed the 8.4 VDC down to 7.5 VDC after charging by hooking them up to a 12 VDC automotive tail light bulb. Light bulbs can burn off unwanted voltage pretty fast but you should not need to do this with a single battery.

They sell 3v CR123A regular, and rechargeable batteries. Just get one of those, and have no worries.
