What is the battery life for this red dot?

not sure, mine didn't last long at all. But not real sure if I had left it on. I don't think I did, but by leaving it in the Scope, I think it definitely pulls the battery life down.

Not certain. I have had mine on my M&P; 15 for a few weeks and used it several days in the cold, I live in Montana. Doesn't dim out or get fuzzy. Target aquisition after firing a round is great. I have another one on a tactical Ruger 10-22 and it is the same. Just to see how it would hold up I mounted it on my .308 and fired a couple magazines through and the zero held fine. I'd really say buy one if you are looking.

I'm not sure about the battery life. But I haven't changed battery yet since I bought mine. Just be sure to turn it off after you use it.

I have had for several months, and used many times, still going on original battery! It also comes with an extra battery, just be sure you turn off every time!

Cr2032. It actually comes with two batteries in the package. This is a very inexpensive red/green dot sight that works absolutely wonderful. I have it on an sks with a bullpup conversion. It works awesome.

Yes, it uses a CR2032 disc type battery and should last 200-500 hours. It will work if the battery dies though, it will show a black reticle instead of the red or green ones. My local Radio Shack sells the battery.

2x AAA. You can leave the batteries out, they only enable the red dot light to funtion.

One red dot, or one green dot if I switch it to green. Ive had mine up and down in brightness and its been fine on every level.

I'm not really sure... but the red dot that in the scope is perfect and it shows up in the day time very well. Love the scope!

The battery life is short because the light is so bright. Just use it as a Tactical flashlight and the bettery will last longer.Use regukar flashlights for general purposes.

I used my scope for our 2 weeks of rife season and turned it on every morning and left it on for the whole day. I had no problem with battery life for that duration.

Let me see if I can give you a definitive answer. In any day light condition these are very clear and bright. It is currently 7:45PM and dark outside. Even after walking outside with no time to adjust to the dark I can clearly see the color dots well enough to align them. One last point. I bought these to replace a laser sight that crapped out on me and I am glad I did. With these there is nothing likely to wear out and no batteries to replace.

Our battery lasted longer than that. Like you said, maybe if you were shooting it non-stop in full auto mode it would last only 20 minutes, but in normal play it was just fine.

It has to have batteries to run. I had this problem at the range, i turned the on switch and nothing happened......luckily I had extra batteries in my magpul stock so I popped them in and back on target in no time. This is a fantastic red dot sight for the money....its waterproof and the reticles stand out even in direct sunlight. If you want reticles that work without batteries the Trijicon ACOG might be an option however they are over a $1000.00. Good luck I hope this helps.

I am not sure but this one has both red & green dot retical. I like this option for both day and night. Hope this helps you.

I think the battery needs to be changed fairly frequently. I have only had it for a few months, but after 3-4 times at the range, the battery light has started to flash red. Hasn't shut off yet, but this suggests that battery life is not very long.

To adjust the red dot you can use a penny or a flathead screw driver. It's an awesome sight. Def lives up to it's name.

I found that the red dot does not stay true... More of a vertical line...and big error as you move... I was going to return mine but for the $$$ I let my kids use it ..

I had a mini red dot on my 10mm. I found it was very accurate out to 50 yards
