Seany.exe Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Can anyone tell me wtf battery I need for this red dot? Bought it from ebay ages ago, when the battery died i chucked it without thinking. Going to be re-using it again if i can find a replacement. CR2032 for scale as it's too large.

Supporters Gepard Posted November 5, 2018 Supporters Share Posted November 5, 2018 Damn. Had to do a lot more digging than I thought to find it - It's not exactly your typical reflex sight huh? Anyway, finally found it here: https://www.askari-hunting-shop.com/bearstep-red-dot-reflex-sight_0168914.html Couldn't find any more information on it unfortunately so perhaps shoot them an email?

Head Moderator Jedi_Master Posted November 5, 2018 Head Moderator Share Posted November 5, 2018 I have a DL2032 coin battery in my red dot sight. You could try looking at the battery selection in a supermarket and comparing them to the 2030 to see which could be a more appropriate size. The numbers stamped in the battery are a description of its physical dimensions. The last two digits are the thickness of the battery while the first two (or first for batteries that only have three digits) are the diameter. For example 2032 battery size = a 20mm diameter and is 3.2mm thick. So if the 2032 fits but is too tall, then look for the 2025 which is slimmer. Or is too small try 2332, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to take the site down to the shop see if i can match one up or make a little paper cutout or something. Why are there so many different button batteries lol. I'll update this if i figure out which one it is :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immortal Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Try a CR1620, or if it's a fatter one then the CR1632. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
