I recently purchased this laser off of a member who is taking a break from the forums for a while. I was told that this was an old, discontinued CNI model laser. I shot an email off to Ava (from CNI) who informed me that she's not recognizing the serial that I provided to her. Here's a picture of the laser as well as a picture of the label on the bottom.
I'm trying to find out if I should use a 3V or a 3.7V battery to power this thing. It was advertised as a 550mW laser @ 980nm, but it only hits 375mW with the provided battery (I was provided a 3V battery). My searches point me in the direction of this being a Dino Direct laser. I did pop in a 3.7V (4.2V Fully charged) and the power did go up significantly, but I'm unsure of whether or not this will stress and kill the diode.

Can anyone confirm if this pointer is indeed an old, discontinued CNI laser? I know some websites like Dino Direct do have knock offs of CNI's hosts.
Thanks in advance.
