I want to build a blue 1.6W 445nm laser(OSRAM PLTB450B) with a boost driver .
I have some high discharge li-ion witch puts out 20A(samsung 25r) will this fry/kill everything?

I dont see the driver pulling much more than 2 -2.5A. Aside that, the rating is what the battery is capable of in terms of current. As long as it meets the voltage criteria,, it wont make any difference. 🍺

The driver imput is 3.7V ,but I don't know the max amps imput or it dosen't matter?

The “3.7 volt” thing caught my eye. I usually charge my batteries to 4.2 volt. I wonder if doing so in your case could damage your device? My chargers allow me to set the max voltage and the charging current

It has 3r3 chip on it witch I know is pretty good

I can't share links because I don't have 20 posts yet but in the descripsion says one li ion battery
3r3 is the inductor, id need the tiny code on the chip with 6 - 8 legs, possibly more legs. If its meant for a li ion then typically 4.2v will be fine as most cells are 3.7v nominal but 4.25 fully charged

Found chip code , LM358
Havent seen many boost boards using an opamp outside of current control feedback on a CV IC. But if thats the only chip, you'll be fine with an input voltage of 4.2V, just dont exceed that like using 2 batteries or you risk blowing both the driver AND diode.
