Battery system explained
CR2 is a compact 3V lithium battery commonly used in laser rangefinders. It is not the same physical size as CR123/CR123A.
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
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
EL3 will not power on
Start with a fresh CR2 3V battery and confirm the polarity shown inside the EL3 battery compartment. Because this model uses a replaceable cell, a known-good battery is the quickest way to rule out a power issue.
Fresh CR2 battery but still no power
Confirm the cell is CR2 rather than CR123/CR123A, then inspect the spring/contact surfaces for dirt, corrosion or a battery that is not seated fully under the cap.
Intermittent power
A weak cell, dirty contact or loose battery-cap connection can make a laser rangefinder switch off during a reading. Clean and reseat the battery before assuming the electronics have failed.
Battery drains faster than expected
If the EL3 is consuming CR2 3V cells unusually quickly, try a fresh reputable battery and inspect the compartment for moisture, corrosion or a cap that is not closing tightly.
