    Nope. Probably the best we may see is a Rev B that has a motion sensor.

    Without knowing Aimpoint's design parameters all the speculation is just that. But I assume the 1225 battery and the constant on features were chosen to meet a specific design requirement. Whether this was done to meet a size/weight requirement or just simply a case of using existing dot technology and the smallest battery that provided some functionality is unknown.

    Figured some of you folks might be interested in this flashback.

    Rewatched InRange TV's bit with the Acro at Shot Show earlier at the beginning of this year.

    Battery life talked about at the 2:00 minute mark.

    Thanks to all you folks who put in the work so I have an excuse to hold off on transitioning to red dots a bit longer and buy something else I want first.

    To save people listening, Aimpoint rep says we “want you to turn it on and leave it on. At normal daylighting setting, 7, it will last a year.”
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    You should put one at 7 and see if it lasts.

    Are these type of batteries able to be doubled up (like putting cr123’s inline in flashlights)? You’d just need a longer (deeper) cap (rather than a wider one).

    Not that I have seen, but that's a decent idea.

    I've seen that idea mentioned on another forum. Similar to the KAC battery cap.

    If feasible I imagine the aftermarket will respond soon.

    It shouldn't work, as two voltage sources in series would double the voltage; you'd end up with it outputting 6 volts rather than the original 3 volts. Unfortunately, the CR1225 is the thickest of the CR12xx batteries.
