I lost the battery from the Aimpoint CompML on my wife's AR-15. Does anyone know the battery designation? I hope it's available locally.

Thanks,
Chas.

3V LITHIUM 1/3N

Power Source: 2x Silver Oxide 357 1x Lithium 2L76 or DL1/3N
Battery Life: 150-250 hours average

Radio Shack has equivalents but they are over 10 bux each and reviews say they are junk.

Should be able to find at any Photo Equipment shop.

I got them at CVS I think.

There's one less than 2 miles from my home. I'll try that.

I updated that the RS equivalent reviews say they are Junk and cost over 10 bux each.

You have your answer, but for a +1, we use Durcell DL1-3NBPK for our sighting systems.. that’s a couple hundred thousand optics using that battery with great results for what it's worth.

Duracell, EverReady or Rayovac are the only way to go on these coin cells. They have a better longevity and a better depletion curve.

Another option is to sell that ML and upgrade to a CompM4 that uses a standard size AA battery available anywhere.

The nice thing about a CompM4 is that it has a voltage regulation system that allows it to use any voltage/type of battery as long as it is AA size. So, as long as it will fit in the tube, it will work.

Another nice thing is that a quality AA battery will last 7-8 Years in the CompM4! Although I wouldn't recommend leaving the battery in it for 7-8 years due to possibility of battery leakage and damaging contacts.

I rarely turn my ML3 off.

Chaz - did you find them at CVS?

I've been in depositions and haven't been able to look. I plan to go today.

Thanks for the reminder!

Shhhhhh Not so loud! This is for my wife's AR-15. I'll get the CompM4 for my gun.
