Will it be safe to operate it with 3.6v ?

[L@z3r]

My 100mw CR2 green laser takes those 3v batteries.
I'm out of batteries and all i have is some 1000mah 3.6v batteries.
How safe would it be if i tried a lil more voltage. the highest battery i have put so far peaked around 3.3 volts.

Is this the same laser as the one with the ugly dot?

I FIXED IT !! Running this laser now with a CR123 battery. It is so much brighter now also. Ill have pics in a few minutes. I say its at least 2 times as bright. It pops balloons like nothing. Now to do a match test.
