Thanks everyone for their responses!

I have a 2W 445nm build I'm working on and I guess I accidentally hooked up the wrong poles when soldering the leads to the battery contact. I know the laser was working before because I touched the 2 leads to the battery and it worked. Im not 100% sure what driver I'm using but i bought the...

I had wanted to test the laser before I had soldered it to the batter contact to put in my host. So I had wires going from the negative side of the battery to go to the black lead coming from the driver and had the positive side to the red lead and it had worked perfectly fine and had found no...

Sorry for my time absent as I been busy. As for the battery contact goes, someone suggested to go here Z-Blanks 20mm Diameter - $3.00 : Zero Lasers. Would this be adequate as it is the same diameter?

Thanks so much :D

My battery contact had a little accident and no longer works. I measured the battery contact to be 19.50 mm in diameter. The battery I use is 2 18650. The host is Cree c8. So where do I find a battery contact this size?

Sorry, i will try to re upload

This is the best i can get it.

So i tested the driver/battery contact by hooking up an incadesent lightbulb to the 2 terminals(ended up blowing the bulb) but the driver works for sure. I then soldered on the 2 leads (the red going to the driver board which has labeled "out +" and i hooked up the black wire going to the...

Here is the general output of the laser beam. It is approx. 12 feet in distance from where I am standing. I made sure the lens is facing the right way and is as far down and it can go. (I have only 1 battery hooked up to it)

Ok, i will flip the lens around. I sorta have to shake the lens holder in order to get the lens in more. Does this mean more of the glue should come of? And for jander6442, I never meant for this to go for this long as most of the time i can only work on it on weekends and i also want to make...

So i put the lens in the lens holder(as i assumed correctly) and hooked up only 1 of the battery to the 2 leads and i shined it outside(at night) and what it lloked like was a dash(-) a straight unfocused line. I couldnt focus it any more to make it more focused. The design of the beam sorta...

As I was using an exacto knife, I was pressing against the glue at an angle(outwards). I Wasn't pressing too hard. But as you can see in the photo, I believe I might have chipped the lens(I really hope I didn't) or is it just the glue that chipped off(with my belief that the glue is the non...

Yeah, i will try it. I tried to fit it in with the glue on and id didnt get past the threads inside the lens holder core. Should the lens fit in closer to the diode side or the focus ring side?

I cannot tell if there is any glue around it but my fingernails cant see to scratch of off, would rubbing acohol do the trick Also i have touched the lens with my fingers so there is my skin oil on it. What do i use to clean it, rubbing acohol?

I did my best to desolder the components and i will post a picture later. Now how do you get the lens out of the casing and how much force should be applied in which direction. I casing appears to be metal.

How precise does the solder iron have to be because I have a relatively thick tip

mine is approx 19.50 mm in diameter. Actually, i think they might be the same drivers...

really? are they the right size? If they are then i will then gladly take one.

Also here is the cree driver battery contact, i could not desolder the parts without recking the traces (even asked my fried who does soldering) and can not be done well. Where should i get a new battery contact for that size. (i put the pencil for size comparison) What my friend did tell me is...
