I'm building a rgv in september anything I should know?

[LovinLasers]

i seriously doubt you'll be able to get lab lasers that run on batteries though?? I mean, the pump diode in a green needs to be like 2 watts IR, just to get about 100mw or so of useful green out, blues are even more inefficient i think!

Sigh im using blueray at 400ma and red at 400ma MAXXXXXX.

And the batteries for the green will be 5amps and the batteries for the blueray and red will be 2.5 amps.

So battery life won't be a problem, unless I run it for hours. (which I won't)

How, exactly, are you planning on getting 5 AMPS out of a pair of AA batteries?

Why don't you just buy a power supply unit?

Because that would be far too simple.
