Thread: Delta Point Pro battery life sucks

  1. #11
    I am holding out until RDS tech will have a built in termo-kinetic generator. Charge the battery from heat and slide movement, that's the way of 21st century. And holographic imaging without physical screens.

    Bet H&K will develop that first.

    I wonder when they will design sights that last almost forever, and need no maintenance. Oh wait... :-)

    I think it is a DP Pro issue, as Robbie Leatham told me his regular DP battery has gone multiple years. My two Pro's are better than a battery a week, and seem consistent with Leupold's six day estimate.

    I have yet to change the battery in my original RM02.

    The RDS is this year's essential, like a concealment magwell.
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    Dude, you're so behind the style. All the cool kids are running MRDS, magwell, match barrel, and compensator minimum. I don't know how you expect to bullseye womp rats with anything less.

    NOW you tell me. Better go order 5 of them then. :-)

    You mean concealment magwells, right?

    5 concealment mag wells and 5 battery holders. Check.

    In all seriousness, the battery life does not surprise me. The optic was created for a unit that will change the batteries every day when working. I'm sure no one cared what the CCW market thought about that.

    I'm just waiting for the cheat code that allows my sights to go right for headshots, regardless of muzzle orientation.

    Fairness leads to extinction much faster than harsh parameters.

    Yes, and on this, so am I. I'll probably start thinking about MRDS when my eyes have a hard time with irons. By then the technology should be a lot better too.

    Who cares about advances in MRDS? By then you will just pop new eyes in. :-)
