Can someone explain to me how the double battery module works? Does it change an aimpoint from a 3v to a 6v? No instructions came with mine and I have no idea what the advanatage is yet. Thanks. |

Marine, That is correct. This option mearly allows you to safely transport an additional battery in the field in a secure fashion. It does not provide any supplemental power to the primary battery. All in all the new Aimpoints have a very generous run time between battery swaps. Regards, Gary |

Quoted: All in all the new Aimpoints have a very generous run time between battery swaps. Regards, Gary A single battery will give between 1000-10,000 hours of operation. The Aimpoint batteries are so small you can fit 10-12 in a Tango Down Battle Grip, 5-6 in a vertical foregrip (with a hollow core for storage) and probably (since I haven't tried it) around 10-12 in a Vltor stock. If you have a rifle with all of the above accessories, you have a [b]minimum[/b] of 25,000 hours of operation time. |

Quoted: i'd be affraid to use 6volts in a system designed for 3...to me it just seems like asking to fry the electronics. -brian- I also would have to recommend against this. All electronics have a certain margin of error. By upping the power to 6v, you are eliminating that margin. Even if the components CAN take 6v, you WILL burn up the electronics quicker. |
