o-like 400mW green laser with pictures

Aw is quality...doesnt matter how many mah's it contains...but the more mah the more battery life.
Hope this answers your question?
 





DON´T go with DX if you want to power your laser before Christmas.
 
either lighthound.com or batteryjunction.com is the way to go if you dont want to wait 6weeks for some batteries.
 
I will order some today. I love how people cant wait till I get batteries. Susie said it should be 2200mha
 
I have a spare 18650 I don't need, and even a charger I don't need. I could mail them to you. The charger has the wrong plug on the cord, you'd need to fix that.

Thank you very much wbp but i will just buy some new ones. Susie said not to get to many mha

OK, just trying to help out, it's a brand new 18650 and charger from a GLP I purchased from Dino Direct a couple of weeks ago.

For the record, if Susie said that, she's wrong. Simple physics, and Ohm's law. The "mAh" rating is the cell's capacity, not it's voltage. You could hook up a cell with double the Ah rating (or mAh rating, milli-Ampere hours) and it would not make any difference, as long as it was the same voltage.

So you are 100% sure that if I get a 2600 or even a 3000mha battery, ill be fine?
 
If it would fit, and the only difference is the mAh rating, it shouldn't matter. The size may be a problem though - I found some supposed 18650's that were rated 3000 mAh, but they weren't really 18650's, more like 18700 or so, and they won't fit in a lot of devices intended for 18650's.

The difference between 2400 and 3000 mAh isn't going to matter much for a laser pointer anyway, I wouldn't spend extra $$ to get higher capacity.

As a check I did some measurements. I have a 200mw green from DD that is convertible, it can use either an RCR123 or an 18650. For kicks I measured the current draw with 3 different cells: an AW RCR123 (one of the best), a cheapo 2400 mAh 18650, and an Ultrafire 3000 mAh 18650. Measured 650 mA in all 3 cases, virtually identical...

So assuming the mAh ratings are accurate, that means you'd get 3.7 hours run time on a 2400 mAh cell, and 4.6 hours on a 3000 mAh cell (if it fits in the case). 3.7 hours seems like a long time to me!

Subscribed. I'm also interested in buying this thing if the power is anywhere near what they claim...
 
Lighthound.com ships very quick to Ca, I'm in northern cali and I get my lighthound orders in 2-3 days, from Tx to Ca. Don't worry about mAh, think of it as gas in a tank. A good quality battery is important seeing as a low quality one could potentially harm your $200 "toy" :) I reccomend a couple of these, they have a amperage rating, and are able to keep up with the current draw of the laser. Good thing to do with Lithium batteries of any kind are to charge them often and not let them drain completely, it isn't good for them. The WF-139 is a good cheap charger, and if you have other lasers that use CR123A (16340) batteries, get the WF-188, the 139 doesnt fit them without spacers.

wow 1600mah...thats very low for a 18650 battery.
