I finally got around to testing the draw. It came in at a steady 430mA at the tailcap. Most cheap (read UltraFire) batteries should be able to keep up with that much draw, but their performance and overall life will degrade faster. I haven't put anything but the IMRs in this laser, but I have been using some UltraFires in my 1W 445nm (I haven't tested it quite yet, but I estimate it to be drawing a full Amp). The batteries in my 445nm last about five minutes, and they lose their charge after about 10 cycles with this much draw. If you ask me, that just plain sucks. I was having to buy new UltraFires after very few uses. I've already killed around six batteries with it. I just bought some more IMRs, though, so I'm going to start using them in all my lasers. All-in-all, I'd recommend getting the IMRs, as they're rated to handle up to 5A.
Edit: I added the draw to the review right after the beam characteristics.
