Hey guys, haven't posted in a while but just thought I'd share the results of the battery test that finished up last week:
The test was started on April 1st at 09:00 CST (Not an April Fools joke) and PK-A Venezuela lasted 157 days at maximum brightness before the battery finally died. The runner up is PK01-VS at 153 days. Both of these are AA powered optics and are two of the most modern ones that I know of.
I have to say I'm surprised at how long these two optics lasted at max brightness. My previous experience was that most of them seemed to day around 4-5 days but it's pretty evident the power technology has dramatically improved in these latest optics. As I always say I still prefer the collimator types over the red dots but these two are very impressive to say the least. Both are rare but I'm hoping we may see them imported more regularly in the future.
*My Kobra was not tested due to circuitry issues. (A good test is HERE)
PK-A Venezuela - 157 days / 3768 hours
PK01-VS - 153 days / 3672 hours
EKP-1S-03M - 37 days / 900 hours
PK01-V - 21 days / 500 hours
PK-AS - 125 hours
PK01-VM - 120 hours
PK-A original - 96 hours
PK01-Vi - 96 hours
PK23 - 80 hours
