Rant on battery life

[DreadPirateMoyer]

This may have been brought up but I couldn't find it. I for one am a huge fan of EOtech when it comes to HWS/Red dot sights. Use EOtech on my personal carbine and every day on foot patrols in Afghanistan. But the battery life leaves something to be desired. 600-1000 hours tops. New Aimpoints are boasting 8 years. Trijicon SRS is boasting 3. I have this hope that L3 gets the message and creates a longer lasting solution. My next red dot will be an Aimpoint, only over EOtech because of battery life. Anybody else sitting on these wishes of improvement?

This is why I refuse to use an EOtech, amongst other reasons. You're not alone.

This topic should have gone under an old eotech problem thread as this is old news.

Agreed.

FFS, guys...some of you have been around this taco stand long enough to supposedly KNOW better.
