What batteries and how many are required for this UTAC .223 unit. Also, does this unit shut off by simply loosening the base cap?

It comes with three button type batteries. You need to remove the batteries completely to shut it off as just loosening it doesn't always shut it off

in short buy a better one, this one was off from the get go, and i could never get it on, beam leaned to right and rode the bore. spent a couple hours trying to adjust it, never could get it right.

Cortezer, though I cant tell you exactly what battery is used In this unit I can tell you it takes three of them. When it is time for me to replace these batteries I will simply take one to a Radio Shack and they will hook me up with the correct battery no problem. For 100% certainty of not draining batteries while not being used, one should remove the batteries. I am comfortable with simply unscrewing the cap and then screwing it back on just far enough to catch the first set of threads. It is just barely on at this point and difficult for the batteries to make a positive connection thus not allowing batteries to drain.

The batteries come with it. Yes just loosen the cap and it goes off. It works great, bore sights almost perfectly.

It takes two batteries, I got my overseas like 100 for $2.00. But I would not purchase anothe rone of these, Not very bright you need to sight it in just before dark to see where the laser hits. Also after sighting it in and then shooting a round threw it it no ware in the same place as the laser.

It takes 3 LR41 batteries, that are included. You're better off to take the batteries out if you not going to be using it for awhile. They can still make contact when unscrewed, draining them pretty quickly.

I've had to replace two batteries in the first six months of use. You just unscrew 4, small Phillips screws from the backside of the light, and pull off the metal, then plastic back pieces to expose the guts of the unit. The battery is a AAA, 600mah, 1.2V, NiMH cell that can be popped out, and replaced. Sometimes there is a bit of hot melt glue from the mounting of one of the LED's that will hold the cell in place, but you can cut thru it with a razor blade.The units are working well, in our hostile Arizona sun, and I'm glad I bought the 10 pack, because I've got a couple of spares. By the way, upon receipt, one of the units was DOA, so I'd plan for the possibility when ordering. I've had to replace two batteries in the first six months of use.

No problems to report except for battery life is very low. I always have two extra batteries. After I am done using the range fider I always take out the batteries and put them back in. This shuts off the 2 hour stand by mode the scope goes into after you activate it the first time. The stand by mode is for active shooting it slows the remote to activate the scope range finder when a target appears. I have the button just above my trigger. Batteries run about $18 for two good Duracells. I do not store it below freezing I just use it in temps as low as 19F with no problems. I hope this helps you.

Hi,The four screws you mentioned have to be removed and the top will come off. The batteries are in the top. The screws are hard to turn, it will help if you have the right screwdriver. A very small philips head works the best. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.Good luck!!

Like Jot said, there is a small compartment that holds the two AA batteries. I sometimes have trouble getting it to slide out. Try applying some downward pressure while pulling on it. Another thing would be the pin. There is a lockout pin that came with the detector that is designed to keep the battery compartment from being opened. If it is in it, you would need to remove it before the compartment is opened. I don't use the pins myself because I change the batteries twice a year.

The one I have uses two AA batteries they last for months but will discharge if the u nit is not turned off.

It comes with two small batteries. Both are needed to make it work. The device works very well and makes it much quicker, and cheaper, to set up a scope.

It uses six AAA batteries. FYI, I haven't had to change mine very often and I use it every day. Also, I have one for salt and one for pepper and I absolutely love them!

Matthew,Mine does not have any screws and I've checked it against the alignment/sighting that was done at the gun shop where I purchased my rifle. As far as I know, it is factory set and should work just fine if inserted carefully and then remove the batteries after use. There isn't an off/on switch as you know. ;-)Hope this helps.Tom

Yes, there are back up batteries in the base unit. I believe it takes four AA's.

Your question is not about the item in question. I purchased the replacement batteries not the unit from Amazon. To find your answer I would go right to APC to get the particular specs that you want. The battery replacements had the same specs as the ones I replaced. My unit runs at 86 watts, which give me a 58 minute window to close down my system. I hope this helps.

3 AAA batteries. But I would NOT recommend this lamp-it dims very quickly and is no longer bright at all, after only using about 5 times for a couple hours each time.

Its complicated the battery is under where the sight is and there is a latch in the top middle of the gun u pull it back lift up the raillmimg and there is the battery it took me a while to figure it out but there r also instructions in the box to help u with it if my answer doesn't help. HOPE THIS ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION :)

Hello Darla,This unit used 4 (D) Batteries. You can unscrew cap at the bottom to pull the bottom off. Contact us at pxh@game-group.com if you need better assistance. Thank you

It uses 2, which are included. Surefire claims a 10-yr shelf life on the batteries.

Use Phillips head screwdriver. The screws come off and you can replace with 3 AAA batteries.

The small flat nickel size lithium batteries many scopes, garage door openers, and watches use. I can't think of the number off hand. They are common and last a decent amount provided you don't forget to turn it off.
