you got an increase of 39mW or about 21.8%. 180mw *120/100=216 and this is the power you should get wit che o like dilda...guaranteed 180mw. BUT.. if the dilta reaches 200mw with 3v battery.. 200*120/10= 240
so...with a bit of luck....240 mw with two 3.6v batteries is possible
another question... you said that with the new freshly charged 3.6V CR2s your 179mW Dilda outputs
218mW.....SO...when the battery is freshly charged is at aboit 4.2volt.......... totally 8.4 volt... but you said :
I just did a test up to 8 Volts regulated and got 257mW... i don't inderstand........excuse me!!
with 8volt....or 2*cr2 3.6 volt...what is the power you reached? 218 or 257?
N/P...
Using the 3.6V rechargeable batteries with THAT particular Dilda 179mW laser (I own many more
than 1) I had an increase of 39mW...
If your new laser is 180mW and you have an increase of 39mW.... How can you say that YOUR laser
will output 240mW with 3.6V batteries.. :-? :-? :-?
Before jumping to conclusions and mixing the data on 2 different threads.... you need to read
all the posts on those 2 separate Threads that I linked to... to understand
the tests performed..
The 2 threads speak of 2 different tests with 2 different Dilda Lasers and 2 different power sources...
The first Thread Link discussed the Max Outputs that I attained using a Regulated Power Supply...
The Second Thread Link discussed the difference in using 2pc 3.6V Recargeable batteries as
compared to 2pc 3.0V batteries...
The 2 threads demonstrates that the DX200 Red Dilda laser driver is not regulated
(or at least very badly regulated)...
And it has has been shown on the Dilda related threads on LPF... that up to now...
to my knowledge... no 2 Dildas were ever shipped from DX with the same output powers. :
I hope that your Dilda will be your "guaranteed" 180mW.... then you can test it a let us
know if youget 240mW with the 3.6V batteries like your calculations show...

BTW... what type of meter will you be testing the output of your new Dilda...
