Listing is for a three 1.5-2W M140 445nm blue laser diodes pressed in standard Aixiz modules with leads attached and an Aixiz 405/445 coated glass lens with focus adapter. Save yourself the headache of pressing and soldering. Just add host, heatsink and driver. The current must be limited to no more than 1.8A to the diode. Don't attempt to connect directly to a battery. I do offer a boost driver that is capable of driving this diode off a single Li-Ion see my other offerings below. This is the diode that everyone has been talking about. They come from a well known DLP projector. Diodes are extracted the safest way using a no heat non pin stressing method. A lot of seller will not want to take the time to do this and will just use a soldering iron and this can burn the glue that holds the pins in place. Leading to diminished life of your diode. Never solder onto your diode until you have it pressed in a module/heatsink. All diodes are tested and are in working condition prior to shipping. I have built many lasers with these diodes. Check my tutorial links below.

UPDATE
These are the brand new more powerful M140 diodes from the new M series projectors. They have shown a great increase over the previous A140 didoes that everyone else is selling. It is believed that these are the new 1.7W Nichia manufacturer rated diodes instead of the 1W Nichia manufacturer rated diodes that everyone else is selling as 2W over driven diodes.  See this thread for details.

Moduels are wired with extremely flexible 26AWG wire that is burn proof and makes for very easy soldering.
