Battery life on laser collimator

[nobby2 (Neil)]

I own a bintel laser collimator, great tool, however how long should the batteries last. I only used mine on one session on one day and their flat. Is this normal or did i bump the on switch on storing away?

No that's not right Neil. They should last for a long time. My current laser collimator is a year old and still on the same batteries.

Reminds me of a time I put my illuminated reticle away without turning it off and it was flat the next day.

Yes, something has turned it on accidentally or it is faulty, I have the same and have had it for about a year and it is fine on the original batteries.

I'm wondering if it is part of the rules of owning an illuminated reticle ... haven't we all done that at one time?
