Sorry for the the first half of your session but I think Your grouping is right on target . When you get her figured out I think your going to start having a lot of fun.
Why in the world would they make batteries like that and try to sale them . Don't make no sense ..

well note to self, never buy panasonic batteries ...

 

[rmichael63]

Probably made in China. They had no idea of the fubar until they were in the supply chain.

Bepe

I would agree as well ...

 

[rmichael63]

Finding good batteries that work in all weather is part of the "fun" of year round outdoor shooting in NE Ohio. Getting pelted with battery covers just ads to the overall joy.....

thanks ... I guess ...

 

[rmichael63]

This is why I always take at least 2 toys to my pay range dates. If you take two, they both will run.

I generally always always do. Today was the exception to the rule. I wasn't sure how easy or hard it was going to be to zero in ... needless to say it was pretty spot on thanks to the bore sighting done over the weekend ...

Maybe my “duct tape” comment will get taken a little more seriously now.

the belt and suspenders way of engineering right?

 

[Bepe]

The only brand i could find was Durracell Lithium ...

I avoid Duracell batteries in the AA and AAA category because of leaks. I've had a number of pieces of equipment ruined by leaking Duracells.

You should probably be OK with the Duracell coin style battery. Might want to monitor.

I call it 100 mile per hour tape.

A big DITTO.

I have several pieces of expensive testing equipment at work. I have “no Duracell” labeled on all of them. We stock Energizers at work.

I was over the GF's house on Sunday. She was working on her digital camera with some white vinegar and a Q Tip. I took note and muttered only one word. Duracell????

She said yes. The camera was toast.

I shouldn't laugh but you made a sour day a tad better ...

No scientific datat to back up my claim but I think the coin style batteries are a different animal. I've had the 2032 battery in the alarm fob of the Harley since 2005. I probably should change it out before I get stuck.

[maddmatter1970]

Well I think it depends on device too. My aimpont has ran exclusive durracel 1n3. Since 2006. I change them all out every 6 mos. But I choot often

Think the lithium design is the determining factor. If lithium leaks, it catches fire, unlike acid batteries. Think it reacts with air.

 

[RugerGuy21]

In reference to coin cell batteries, 1632 versus 2032, the first two digits in the numbers stated are in terms of thickness. the second two denote that it is 32mm in diameter. A 2032 has more capacity, but is also thicker than a 1632 which could pose a problem with the caps on a red dot or laser.

 

[Aqualung]

Duracells work great if they're being used, but if they sit for any amount of time, they'll wreck whatever they're in.

I read the thread on the mount...Sorry you had issues.
