Anweniel Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Am I the only numpty who seems to always forget the Red Dot Finder is still on when he brings his equipment back inside? The amount of battery I must have wasted is silly. So I was thinking is there anyway to get one to auto switch off like you can do with lights?

The amount of battery I must have wasted is silly.Not just you.I buy CR2032s four at a time, because since I was stupid enough to sell my SW 9x50 finder, I no longer have a back up. Idiot.I'm getting better though. Unnecessary expenditure focuses the mind, I'm finding...Russell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newman Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 This is why I have a custom of physically removing batteries from the telrad when observation is done. It's a standard part of the "disassemble everything, pack in car" procedure. Otherwise I'd probably leave the sucker on for weeks. I still tend to do it with flashlights, though. Less of a problem, that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgs001 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I did, but now as part of the packaway process "checklist" which I never wrote down, must get around to that at some point, checking the RDF is there.I bought a strip of 10 CR2032's from ebay, and I'm on only my second one from that strip, so it must be working.
