Looks like a very nice laser to me!
With 70-ish mW power output i would not really expect any thermal problems or a required duty cycle as long as it is constructed decently, which it seems to be. It seems fit for continuous operation really, up to fully discharging a battery and then just popping in a fresh one.
The only thing that strikes me as odd is on how slowly the output power comes on, unless that's just an artefact of the power meter - which seems likely with a TEC based meter and time to reach real reading of 30 seconds or so.
Where did you get this laser from, and at what price? Or is it not available for purchase to the general public (you mention $66 resale but not from where)?
