I’d like to get into the routine of changing all of my batteries on like 1/1 or something. Lights, optics, lasers, NV, etc (I don’t store lasers and NV with batteries but still keep them handy) but it’s hard to really justify that with the battery life you get these days.
Who remembers being in OIF with the ****ing huge Surefire incandescent lights that got maaybbeee 20min of runtime on two CR123s? Those things ran out of juice so fast we weren’t even allowed to use them for admin purposes.
What an incredible age we live in. What do you guys do for battery replacement? Has anyone had an aimpoint battery actually die? How long was it in? What were the symptoms beforec it was dead?
God save the Queen.
Yep.
M9 with pre Surefire Laser Technologies light/club.
M4A1 with Surefire 951, PEQ2, KaC drop in rail with grip, Eotech, and A R M S 40.
Laugh now, but it was gangsta AF compared to when I start d in Ranger Bn in the 80s.
Same weapons for 8 years.
Two new barrels for the M4, updated to a smaller PEQ that added a visible laser, and went to a scout light.
