[QUOTE="dwkennedy, post: 913557, member: 1717"] CR 2032 Easy to find at wal-mart. They are lithium so that have a long (10+ year) shelf life. They are used in a lot of small consumer electronics items (remote controls, key fobs, flashlights, etc.) so they will be available for decades to come. The eotech models use either N cells, AA, or CR123. The N cells are a little harder to find and quite expensive for the energy they contain, and you can't yet get a lithium N cell, so I'd pass on those models. (Lithium cells are lighter, hold more energy, and work better in the cold) Aimpoint Micro T-1/H-1 are super light and the battery lasts forever. If you shoot with both eyes open, the tube almost disappears and you're left with a dot suspended in space. Until something better comes out I think it's the dot sight to buy. You will need a riser mount ($60-$100) for it to work on an AR. [/QUOTE]
