| I have an Eotech 511 that I have not used in over 4 months, I got new batteries for it, installed them and it turned on, flashed 4 times and turned off, now it does not want to turn on, anybody know what the problem may be |

first post nails it. Batteries are the cheapest thing to try replacing first.
Also.........get some lithium's if you are going to go buy them. Yes, they are more expensive, but they last longer and do not leak. If you are using regular alkaline, did they leak or were they slimy when you pulled them out? The gases can coat, or even corrode, the terminals. Even if they look good, wipe them off with a que-tip and alcohol. None of the above works, you may have battery terminal issues. edit to fix my spelling... |
| the terminals look good, I will wipe them down with contact cleaner in case they did get leaked on, as far as the bateries go, I dont have a volt meter, nobody in town had the battery size, i was able to find some duracels I guess im gonna have to order some Energyzer Lithiums |
