Battery system explained

This model uses a conventional rectangular 9V battery rather than the smaller lithium cells found in many newer laser rangefinders.

No dependable model-specific battery-life figure is listed. Disposable-cell life varies mainly with how often the laser is fired, battery quality, storage and temperature.

How to replace the battery

Turn the rangefinder off before opening the battery compartment.
Remove the old battery and confirm the compartment calls for 9V alkaline.
Check the + and − polarity markings before inserting the new battery.
Install the fresh 9V alkaline battery in the indicated orientation.
Close the battery cover completely and test the rangefinder with a normal distance reading.

Battery life and what affects it

No dependable model-specific battery-life figure is listed. Disposable-cell life depends on battery quality, storage conditions, temperature and how often the laser is activated.

Battery troubleshooting

Pro 1600 Slope Edition will not power on

Start with a fresh 9V alkaline battery and confirm the polarity shown inside the Pro 1600 Slope Edition battery compartment. Because this model uses a replaceable cell, a known-good battery is the quickest way to rule out a power issue.

Fresh 9V battery but still no power

Check that both 9V terminals are fully seated and making firm contact. Older 9V-powered rangefinders can also develop dirty or slightly weakened battery contacts after years of use.

Intermittent power after wet weather

The Pro 1600 Slope Edition is listed as Waterproof. Even so, check the battery compartment and seal for moisture or debris before installing another battery.

Older model drains batteries quickly

The Pro 1600 Slope Edition dates from 2009, so battery contacts, compartment seals and age-related electrical wear are worth checking if fresh batteries are draining unusually fast.

Battery care and storage

For long storage, remove the 9V battery from the Pro 1600 Slope Edition; an old alkaline battery is more likely to leak than a lithium CR2/CR123 cell.
Carry one spare 9V alkaline battery if you rely on the Pro 1600 Slope Edition during a full round or trip; it is quicker than trying to diagnose a dead unit on the course.
The Pro 1600 Slope Edition is listed as Waterproof, but still keep the battery compartment seal and mating surfaces clean so the cover can close properly.
Because this Pro 1600 Slope Edition is an older 2009-era design, inspect battery contacts occasionally for oxidation or loss of spring tension.
