My (512)EoTech has a battery problem. Twice the batteries have leaked/swelled/rusted. They weren't in that long for them to go bad. It will not keep batteries in it when its not in use any more. I've cleaned it up , and it works, but I can't leave it ready to go. Anyone else have a similar problem? |

Yeah, this sounds like a bad batch of batteries. BTW I've had Energizers go bad on me twice - once in a PDA and once in my electronic thermostat. I made them pay for the thermostat but didn't save the batteries from the PDA. Now I only use Duracells... The only Energizers I will use/stockpile are Lithiums. |

They were Energizers. The rifle stays in the gun safe when not in use. Also the batteries are in a sealed area(battery compartment of the EoTech). I have batteries in a number of things, and they dont go bad that quick. The first time I it cleaned with baking soda. This time I took apart the Battery contacts, and cleaned with more baking soda. Something to keep an eye on, and batteries out when not in use. |
