Aimpoint PRO Batteries

[Eurodriver]

Back in the day, we did not trust Aimpoint batteries. So most everyone had a stash of them everywhere, since we could get an unlimited supply, packaged individually in plastic, from the supply dude. I haven’t had access to that in about 5 years, so I’ve been feeding my Aimpoint PROs rando 1/3N batteries found squirreled away in old pouches and such and they still work for like a year, probably more. Most are probably like 10 years old, potentially up to 15 years. Well, since I obtained them. No idea when DoD bought them. At 75RR, company level supply stored them near room temp, I think. Stateside, at least. Overseas, it was whatever. When I was stationed at Bragg, my organization stored them in refrigerators. I don’t attempt to control anything but moisture for my home battery stash.

I usually leave them on all the time. Unfortunately, I sold my last PRO about 6 months ago.

It’s funny how discussing how batteries were distributed can add so much credibility.

My oldest PRO is 8 years old and still rocking the original battery. It’s now become a game of sorts, seeing how long it will go. I keep 3 extras in my spares kit that will be out of date code before I need them.

Yup. My oldest PRO is probably 8 years old too. Original battery.

I leave mine on 24/7 and swap the battery once a year on my anniversary, along with all my other weapon batteries. Cheap insurance.

Lol thanks. You know what they say about professionals and logistics.

How good are Sure-fire batteries? Have ran them in flashlights before and was not overly impressed.
