Hello, I've purchased my first laser some days ago and I noticed something strange.
At first I tought the laser was broken, because I put two AAA rechargeable batteries and it didn't work, but then I found some alkaline batteries and it worked.
The laser is this one: Rayfoss.
The thing is, I've got some Uniross 900mAh AAA batteries and the power output seems much much lower than with the alkaline batteries, despit the voltage being HIGHER (according to my thrusty multimeter).
The alkalines im using measure at about 1.38v each and the rechargeable at about 1.4-1.42.
So are rechargeable batteries not really an option for me?
Regards
PS: Is there any way to see if I really have 50mW power without a meter?
