darthdively Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 So I'm looking to get rechargeable 2032 batteries for my optics. I'm pretty bad about leaving on the light in my scopes and pistol optics. Has anyone tried rechargeable ones? What is your experience with them? Also, I notice that most of the rechargeable ones are 3.6-3.7 volt vs some of the regular ones that are 3 volt. Do you think that would make a difference? I'm not well educated in small electronics and voltage. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microham Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Probably would make light dimmer than using regular batteries. You need to label your gun case to turn off Optics when finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - you may proceed to store your firearm. No - TURN IT OFF! GEEZ!" Next level down. "Did you ACTUALLY turn off your optic? Yes - Good Boy. No - WHAT DID I JUST SAY TO DO!?!!"

Boomstick303 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Why not just change the battery once a year and leave it on? Using buttons constantly wears out buttons on optics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using buttons constantly wears out buttons on optics. I didn't know that was a thing. I change brightness too much. Plus, one of my scopes drains battery quickly if I accidentally leave it on. I already went through 2 or 3 batteries on my RTS2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRO, Sig Romeo 3 Max/XL, RMR etc. I do have to power down my Vortex Razor 1x6 or it will kill the battery rather quickly. The red dots get new batteries at the beginning of every season. Sounds like the RTS2 eats batteries so maybe not an option for that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Both of my remaining RTS2s won't go an 8 stage steel match if I don't turn them off in between. All five of my FF3 8 MOAs and the three RO 5 MOA seem to run forever. I often don't turn the SROs off after the last stage because that is harder to do than the others. I put it in the sleeve and stow it figuring I'll turn it off when I get home. Sometimes I forget. Doesn't seem to matter. I also have to turn off the Slideride between stages, especially with the smaller dots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
