How do you put batteries in a laser pen?
It is recommended that you use alkaline batteries. Remove the batteries if you are not planning to use it for long periods.

green lasers
As a general rule, green lasers are 532nm are 5-7X brighter than any other laser color, at the same power. Whether blue, red, purple/violet, or a light color like yellow, green is the best at strength for visibility.
How far do laser pointers travel?
In total darkness we can see a <5mW 650nm laser around 500 – 1km away when it shines on a white surface. The divergence will make that projected dot 1km away a large dot that reach 20–30m in diameter, and very faint. Green YAG laser pointers at the same power, is in comperison visible up to 4–5km away.
Can laser pass through walls?
After testing the laser beam remained comparatively concentrated even after passing through the white slide. It should be noted that today it is possible to shine laser systems through walls, however, only very specific types of walls and probably the list of walls will increase very soon.
