You need to have each unit numbered, and keep a battery log and practice log (yeah, I know). When you shoot your guns with purpose (I mean you're on your PCC run, or your CO run), you shoot the respective gun(s) every day, and dry fire them too. You'd have to reach out to some top CO dudes to compare your notes in regards to volume of use experience. I can ask Hwansik when I shoot with him in August, provided he doesn't change to some supersquad.

Well, my Vortex Viper just went dead. One year almost to the day. About 25 or so matches, lots of dry and live fire practice, 4 day defensive handgun course. Never needed it on its highest setting, usually medium (bright sunlight) to low (indoors).
I know I should have kept track so I could have a better idea of when to replace the battery. I will start doing this with all my battery powered optics.
I can easily test a battery for its voltage drop. Maybe that should be in the battery log. I have my recently dead battery and a brand new battery as 0 to full.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
