My search fu is failing me. Beyond Duracell what are the best batteries to avoid experiencing some type of leakage or damage to sight (primary consideration) & experience best prospects of longevity for battery? Thanks.

Not sure if you saw this thread:

Obviously using T2s but the Duracell performance is impressive.

is anyone using Renatas for any optic outside the Acro?

I bought a ton of the Renata batteries expecting to have to change my ACRO's batteries every other week.... its been on 7 or brighter since it arrived in the mail in early October outside of maybe 8 hours total turned off, no sign of dimming yet.

I’d expect them to be very good. When I was looking around, it seemed like they’d be hard to avoid counterfeit though.
