I forgot to mention that increasing the drive current to around 258mA made a noticable increase in output. It definitely burns faster and is likely closer to spec.
When the "non-broken" ones start rolling out I would be curious of the current draw from the batteries. The draw from the batteries will be almost the same as what the LD sees. This laser could likely be used with 1x RCR123 and a blank feed-through spacer. It may require a change in the 4.7 ohm resistor on the positive battery wire.
