I actually ended up just making my own contact board. Since I already had the driver circuitry I really only needed a way to safely connect the leads from the driver to my batteries. So I took a blank silicon wafer from radioshack, cut it to approximately a circle, drilled 2 holes for the...

Ok, so this is probably a stupid question, I need a battery contact board to which I attach the laser diode/driver/pill module leads, correct? Is this something I'd need to order, or can I scavenge one from a flashlight? Or do I just attach the leads from the module to the top cap of the battery...

Thanks DTR! Upon re-reading your thread on the PLP520-B1 I realized that I simply misread your post about batteries. For some reason, I combined IsaacT's post about this diode not liking single liion cell with a boost driver with your earlier post about drivers and batteries in my head. So my...

Ok, so long time lurker first time poster. I've bought high powered green lasers online before, and I have safety goggles. Now, I'm planning my first build and I'm a little confused as to what type batteries to use, and how many of them. I'm planning on ordering an Osram PLP520-B1 in a copper...
