with the rckstr driver you need to set it to ~100mA to get ~90mW which will burn if you focus it.
the rckstr will need ~6-9v
so maybe buy some 10440 batteries (lithium batteries(AAA) of 3.7v) so if you use two of them you should be good
cheers

get a double 10440 battery holder, you can find one at radio shack.
you can get batteries here: DealExtreme: $4.23 Ultra Fire 10440 3.6V 500mAh 2Pack
the rckstr has two holes one marked with a "+" and one with a "-" those are where you solder the battery (and switch) to. on the other end there are tabs with the same markings (+,-) this is where you solder the diode.

Thank you so much TheTeslaWarrior for putting everything step by step.

you'll want at least 8 volts total for blu-ray, and 6 volts total for red. so if your making a blu-ray a 9v would work.

A typical 9V battery will not last long and you'll be forever spending money on full ones and never have enough cash to buy more lasers!

Get some good rechargeable 3.7V Li-po batteries, (there a loads to choose from and loads of places to get them but (R)CR2s are good for starters), something to hold them in, and a charger. Fully charged they put out 4.2V. Two of these in series and you're away. You'll need a dummy test load to set your driver. For this you'll need a Digital Multi Metre. There are threads and posts out there. Check the links in my sig and should start to see the path!

Good luck.
