oddjob Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Found an interesting article (link attached) about carry optics (CO) type set ups. The part that I found interesting is the second paragraph under "Reliability." Article https://lockedback.com/results-4-year-handgun-red-dot-study-sage-dynamics/ 2nd Paragraph... " Interestingly, this handgun red dot study also found Energizer and Sony batteries cannot reliably withstand the handguns’ recoil, but Duracell’s batteries held up to a handgun’s recoil. Are many shooter’s pistol red dot reliability issues actually battery reliability issues?" Do CO people here find batteries to be a problem? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echotango Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I bought a pack of Sony and they were horrible. In CO and Open rts2's. Switched to Panasonic and never looked back. I thought I just had a bad batch of Sony's, but maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacivilian Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Yep I can confirm that Duracell batteries functioned flawlessly in my CO and Open gun red dots while other brands did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiroshi Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I use Energizer and Duracell batteries on my red dot and so far I didn’t run into any problems.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMike Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I use only Duracell and they have functioned flawlessly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAP Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I have used Energizers and Duracell batteries in my DPP. I have not noticed a difference between the two brands.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmanick Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) I have used several brands in my Venom and JPoint and seen no difference between them Edited June 7, 2019 by kmanick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
