The high capacity NiMH batteries have a less stable chemistry than the lower capacity NiMH batteries, according to a few sources on the int3rw3b. |

Yep both Lithium and NiMH have similar voltage curves. They are relatively stable, but when they die - it's quick, no lingering like the alkalines. |

Just for those who want them , I found a site that sells 4 pack Energizer Lithium AA batteries for $8.99 a pack shipped. Check out www.batteryspecialists.com
These are the ones that get you max hours in EoTechs and small digital cameras. I am sure the EKP-1 will ove the heck out of them.... I have the Coin battery one, but found a place that had batteries for $1 each, so I bought a sack of them. Notice that the camo carrier for the Kobra has little pockets for spare batteries in the cover flap. Useful.... :) -Cabby |

Recently picked up a Kobra sight (thanks again, Thekatar!) and found this thread very informative. Thanks guys, for running the tests.

You would think that in such a "progressive" place, where it is supposed to be all about the working man/woman, that my living expenses would have gone DOWN, not up at least 30%. Isn't it weird how in liberal/progressive areas, a working man can't afford to squat? The required no trans fat and smoking ban signs on all of the restaurants and bars is a nice touch. They're about to become even more cosmopolitan by banning foie gras'. My neighbor asked me, "What, you want to eat foie gras?" I said, "No, I want to right to decide for myself NOT to eat foie gras." I don't think she understood. |

Now the important question, where do we get Kobra sights?

Hi All,
Love this thread. I just picked up a Kobra for $220. The directions tell me to use lithium CR2325 batteries, but they are button sized batteries, whereas the compartment on this scope looks to fit AAs. So do I take a chance and put some AAs in there? I also have no idea how to properly adjust the acope for windage and elevation, so any advice is greatly appreciated. Roy |

I don't think they're in business anymore. I ordered through them a year ago, fortunately used PayPal. Nothing every arrived, no communication, etc. The current price on eBay is over $400 for the AA battery version. |
