Montefalconese Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Can anyone explain this mystery? A couple of weeks ago I bought a red mini laser, branded Iron Jia, from Amazon Italia to fit on the picatinny rail of my Airsoft pistol, together with a pack of Camelion LR44 batteries. Unfortunately it was impossible to screw down the laser’s cover once the batteries were inserted: the item was obviously defective. However, when I pressed the cover down with my thumb and switched it on the beam was very bright even in glaring sunshine. Having returned the item I bought an identical item, this time branded Swiss Arms, from Target Soft in San Marino. It came with LR44 batteries already inserted. The laser’s cover presented no problems, but its beam was very feeble. Feeling very frustrated, as a last effort I replaced the supplied batteries with the Camelion ones. To my delight the laser then emitted the same bright beam as the defective laser I’d previously purchased. However, according to my researches on the internet, all LR44 batteries have the same voltage and emit the same power. So how come the Camelion batteries produce a beam that’s much brighter?

Jez_Armstrong Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Probably because the second laser you purchased with the batteries included were dying if they were already fitted it could have been drawing power from them for however long they have been in there for, hence when you put in new fresh batteries it was brighter 🤷🏻♂️ Enid_Puceflange 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Pseudotectonic Posted March 24 Popular Post Share Posted March 24 Don't use lasers in airsoft, it is completely unregulated and you get unknown emitters with unknown output from everywhere, nobody's got time for retina damage JinxDuh, Mr Dellski, NiallT and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sewdhull Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Crappy batteries do exist even from new, but old used batteries seems the likely cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montefalconese Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 Thanks Sewdhull. Sounds a pretty logical explanation. Thanks Jez Armstrong. Sounds a pretty logical explanation. Psuedotectonic. Agree with you, but I don’t use this pistol for Airsoft competitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
