Rechargeable rangefinder batteries

[Scottmisfits]

With the other thread about rangefinders going, it got me to thinking about the last time I charged my rangefinder batteries. It was before the season started for sure. I also only have two, one for me, one for my son. I have been trying to find more rechargeable CR2 batteries but I haven't been having much luck.

I haven't contacted them but I've scoured the website of BatteryWorld and they have CR123, but not CR2.

Anybody else have any leads?

I use a regular Lithium battery in my Leica range finders. Even with heavy use year round, gophers, varmints, big game etc one battery will last 6 or 7 years. They also seem to work much better in very cold weather than the rechargeable ones I have tried. Just my 2 cents worth.

Lithium batteries all the way

My rangefinder is always inside my jacket so I’m not worried about the cold weather affecting it. I’ve never had an issue with that. Like I said, I already have a couple that have worked very well. There’s no way that I get 7 or 8 years out of a battery for them either. Either I have a very inefficient collection of range finders or I just use them more, not sure. I’m lucky to get two years out of mine. It’s not a huge expense to use a regular lithium, I get that. I just like being able to make sure that their good when I go out. I always do carry spare batteries for everything. Flashlights, ear muffs, rangefinders, etc.

its in the US so shipping will be expensive.
