Is my laser broken?

[Max234]

Hi, i have a 200mW Red laser pointer from DX.
It worked fine 2 days, but now it shines good for 3 secs then the beam gets very weak. I''m not sure if it are the batteries because it still works perfectly 3 secs long?

Thx for your fast replay btw ^^

Batteries that are dead can provide enough juice for exactly what you just described.

Save money, get rechargeable batteries and a charger, in the end it will save you a ton.
(and keep a bunch of dead cells out of landfills)
