Aimpoint Pro battery life at different settings

[mjmagee67]

I change my AimPoint and MRO batteries every Christmas.....well the ones I leave on. In the grand scheme of things it isn't much money. On my other guns I just have a extra battery in my range bag....lithium batteries basically have zero self discharge. The package on one of the replacement batteries says it's good till 2025....

Unless it's a HD/Duty rig I'd leave the battery out of it. I've seen to many Duracel and Energizer batteries leak. BUIS is good enough for a Zombie Apocalypse until you get a minute to install your battery.

Lithium batteries don't leak like that.

What's great about the Aimpoints is that there is no reason to ever turn them off or leave the battery out. I change the battery every 3 years on mine, maybe 5 years if someone wants to push their luck.

Mine are off and batteries out . I don't spend enough time at the range with them. They will last me a whole life time. Those are electronic components. The longer they are on , the quicker they will die. Mine will be on full time when civil war comes. But for now they are in deep sleep.

If your going to keep the Aimpoint on, then you must be keeping the rifle it's mounted to locked and loaded as well, right?
If not, why would you keep it turned on.

Mine is off, rifle unloaded in the safe.

1. Because it's cool.
2. 3-5 years down the line I can come on to Calguns and bash the manufacturer because their product died in the safe.
3. Just because I got money to blow.
4. Those light emitters have no life span. They will last forever.

Don't you leave all the lights on in your house in case you walk into a room?

I replace my dollar and a half battery every Christmas, with sight left on 8 or 9.
