Which rechargeables for a weapon sight?

[alfred10]

I have an Eotech 555.A65. It runs on AA lithium, alkaline, and rechargeable. Who makes a solid rechargeable that will have a long shelf light and hold up to abuse? I wont a back up solution that I can recharge.

This doesn't answer to your question but one thing to note about the shelf life if you keep the batteries installed:

I used to own a model 552 Eo, and it takes a small amount of parasite drain. And yes, I found this out the hard way... :sigh:

I'm not sure about the 555 but propably it does the same since it is basically same system.

So if you use alkalines, be sure to change the batteries often enough.

Hello Alfred10,

The Sanyo Eneloop cells are the highest quality rechargeable cell right now. You may want to give them a try.

Yikes ! ! ! :eek:


That's 600 Buck$ ! ! !


For that kinda' money, i'd use Energizer L91 Lithiums (Ultimate).

Best shelf life, and best performance in Extremes of temperature.


Good Luck.

+1. A set of batteries in an eotech should last a long time. Replace them once a year.
