Battery for Aimpoint CompML

Post by Charles L. Cotton »

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

http://www.zbattery.com/Duracell-1-3-N-3-Volt-Lithium" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

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.

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.

:iagree: 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.

Thanks for the reminder! :tiphat:

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