View Full Version : Do you guys leaver your aimpoints on?
So after messing with Fake Points for a while, I finally got a real CompM3. I didn't realize these things had such high battery life. Do they really last 50000 hours (5.7 years) on one battery? Do you guys just leave them on or do you turn them off when not in use? I like the idea of just leaving it on but do I run the risk of burning out the LED prematurely? Letting it run 24x7 for more than 5 years must take a toll?

Mine are left on if they're on a weapon. I've been running Aimpoints for a couple of years now and its been over a year since the last EOTech that I sold. I've had one battery die a couple of months ago the M2 that's on my 9mm AR, which was the battery that was in it when I bought it (unknown life), which was 2 years ago.
Short answer, leave the battery on, the next battery for your Aimpoint hasn't been made yet.
Cool, guess I'll just leave it on then. Thanks for the info.
