I am going on 9 months for the original batteries in my Wasp on an RDP. I use it as my EDC, so it's not like it's sitting in the safe either.
I'd call Springfield and see if they will warranty it. |

Ordered 2 x WASPs direct from SA in early November of 21. On mine the 2nd battery went out last week. Wife's first battery was out as well. Called SA customer service and had a return shipping label for them in less than 5 minutes. Talking to the customer service rep, I got the impression that this was not an unknown problem. Perhaps some bad boards????? Anyway, waiting on what will probably be two new ones.

Yep, the WASP eats batteries. I put a brand new one in on 1 Jan, and now it's dead as a doornail, having spent the last two months in the safe, so on the lowest power setting.
I need to holler at them and send it back - hopefully it's an easy process and I get a working one back. |

I sent the 2 that were eating batteries in o/a 4 Feb and they received them on 7 Feb. So a 6 week turn time. I'll report back in a few months on how the batteries are doing on these 2 new ones. |

I purchased my Hellcat/Wasp the week of Thanksgiving. Been carrying it daily since the 2nd week of December and battery is still going strong.

Sent mine in, about 3 week turnaround time. Very good customer service by Springfield. Haven't mounted it yet (hope I haven't jinxed it and it's dead from the factory!), but will today and then check on how long the battery lasts.
It's my understanding that you should be able to get a year plus use out of one battery, and more if it's kept in the safe so its running at the lowest power use setting. |

I put the new Wasp on, sighted it in, things were going good, till it quit working. Seems like a loose connection, as sometimes it's on, sometimes it's not.
So, back (again) it goes. I realize the Wasp isn't a 500 dollar Trijicon RMR, but I'm 0/2 for ones that work. |

I got right at 10 months on my first battery, currently at 5 months on my 2nd. Mine leaves the house with me every day and stays in the truck while I am at work and the truck is always in full sun if it is out so I doubt it is at the lowest level.
