I have one of those small "laser pointers" that is powered by 3 of those small button cell batteries. I want to convert it so that it's powered by an "AA" battery. I'm not very knowledgable about what I'd need to put together to make sure I don't fry the laser or whether the "AA" battery is even enough to power it.
Currently, power is supplied by 3 AG-13 PLE batteries in series. I don't know how much power/voltage/amperage the laser is capable of handling or how much it requires.
I need it to be compact and to be able to pick up the parts required at Radio Shack.
I've built small electronic projects before, with the aid of a parts list and schematic, so if you have any ideas or can help I'd appreciate it.
