Hello,
I'm a laser pointer amateur.
I recently purchased a Wicked Lasers Nano Series (3B) 532 nm 5mW/15mW (I'm not sure why there's two power ratings here, maybe different settings?).
The laser pointer does what I need it to do, but I noticed that there's a battery power leak. When I have the end cap on with fresh/new batteries, the pointer won't last the weekend before the batteries are dead with no use of the pointer at all-- just sitting idle/off. With the end cap off batteries have (obviously) lasted as long as I expected.
Has anyone else had this issue or know of a solution other than keeping the end cap off? I'm aware that this could encompass quite a range of issues, but perhaps there's a list of obvious candidates for me to check/try that you guys might know of.
Thanks for reading
