What is the best choice of batteries for the PPL series?

NiMH batteries are best choice for the PPL laser. They are rechargeable and they tend to hold their voltage higher right up to the end of the charge whereas alkaline batteries voltage continuously drops through the discharge. We highly recommend the AccuPower 6000 NiMH cells. These cells provide 6000 mA hr of power, the most I’ve found in a C cell. By comparison a Duracell Ultra Alkaline battery only provides 1400 mA hr of Power. Here’s a link to our tests showing a plot of the Duracell Ultra (Alkaline) vs the AccuPower 6000 (NiMH) under load levels that simulate an operating PPL laser module.
