I just used some orbtronics 18650s today in my 3 watt 445nm striker saber from sanwu and it seems like it kicked the power up a lot from the cheap cells I was using before. For the first time the laser created a red plasma flame when it hit the dark wood of my bed frame
Good cells make a HUGE difference! They are also safer. My big lasers (jetlaser 520nm 1 Watt+ and 465nm 3.8watt +)
draw a lot of current. Orbtronic uses Panasonic and Sanyo cells and will tell you which ones. They use Seiko protection
chips too. I cannot recommend them highly enough. I know you can get unprotected cells for less money, BUT,
they are not as safe and Orbtronic has been bullet proof for quick, inexpensive shipping for me.
They are in FLA and I am in NC so YMMV. I think they are worth the price paid and then some.
They deliver good current...and have good capacity as well. Highly recommended!
ETA:
I should thank you! I just fired up the 520nm and the 465nm, I am amazed how powerful the 465 PLE-Pro is!
It gets through the side of a folger can faster than the 520 can get through the lid!
I also smoked some wood with it. 2 seconds produced an epic plume!
I also beam viewed...465nm @ 3.8W+ is beautiful...such a sweet beam!
Thank you my friend!
PS. Obtronic 26650's in the 465nm PLE-Pro. Current galore!
