Can someone please tell me what is going on with my Binox. I'll put in three brand new either Duracell lithium or the SureFire 123 and I swear about 7 minutes later the stupid battery light starts flashing.
Only use them in night vision mode and my settings are
Light sensitivity ; medium
Illuminator brightness ; 2
I don't dare go any higher or I'll get maybe 15 minutes. These fricking batteries are the most expensive battery out there. Does ATN have a rechargable battery ?
I bought that expensive external white charger which does nothing for night mode. Love the Binox but may have to retire them because it cost me $40 every couple hours

If yours is the Binox HD, apparently you are not the only one with battery issues. I just looked at the ATN web page and at the bottom of the Binox page ATN is selling a rechargeable battery pack that is good for up to 15 hours. I would call ATN and see what the expected battery life is for your 123 batteries before spending more money. Also there are RCR123 batteries that are rechargeable, I just purchased some for my IR flashlight.

nighthog: The ATN X-Sight 4k Pro is junk. If you have one, you have issues. Period. Software updates sometimes work for awhile, but can also make things worse - or fix some things while creating other issues. There is no solution to these issues. Junk Jun 5, 2024 14:04:20 GMT -8
