Is the a23 a sutible battery?
- Thread starter JFrost
- Start date
So went down to the store and grabbed one. Wired it up quick and it worked great! but... after about 5mins of use it seams to have already run out of juice... does that seem right? Im about to hook up the second one to see if I can get different results

The A23 is only a 50-60mAh battery. With an LPC pulling 420mA, 55mAh doesn't last long.

The 10180 is better, but you are still not going to get much life out of it

10180 will work but dont expect a long running time, just like the A23.

JFrost;
Step up to at least a #14500 (AA sized) lithium-ion battery.
Any less and you will tire of changing batteries, if you intend to use the laser.

There are other factors to consider, but that "formula" will give you a very rough rule of thumb.

The battery has a place in our hobby. The laser just needs to be run at low amperage.

Nope, that's until the battery gets empty. Your build will stop working far from that.
Capacity=size (as a general rule)
