hey guys, just curious if anyone on here uses rechargable batteries in their thermal. i have a ld19s and it will not even turn on with rechargables. i have found an old thread where a guy said he got 3 hours on some but havent found much else. i am just curious if something is wrong with mine or if they just arent made to use them. i run eneloops so its not like im using junk batteries. these lithium ions are killing me and alkaline just dont cut it. a lot of people will tell me to buy the eps3 or whatever and thats likely what i will do if it isnt supposed to run on rechargables. thanks in advance
 
Pulsar's manual says to use rechargeable or lithium. I can run mine off rechargeable with no problem, but I went with the EPS3 because the contacts in the AA battery holders are finicky and the springs are weak. My hunting buddy only uses rechargeable in his 19a.
 
If it is not your battery holders yet it soon will be. Get yourself an ESP3, & solve all your problems. Hunt all night

I've always run rechargeables but had had trouble with getting them to get a connection. 2500mah batteries generally lasted 4 or more hours of runtime depending on temperature. Contacted pulsar a few weeks ago and the sent new holders and haven't had trouble with the connection yet. Just my experience.
 
Best I have found by far are Kentli rechargeables. Unlike all other rechargeables, these batteries have 3.7V reserve but only put out a steady 1.5V with no drop off till it's done. All other batteries start somewhere about 1.5V and quickly go less than that. Enloops start at 1.2V. Kentli aren't cheap but they are the "real deal" in rechareables.

If you don't mind a little bulk added, these work extremely well too.

I use the same battery as PMack. Works great! I just keep the battery in my vest pocket and have a short cord that connects. I will hunt three or four times before charging the battery. I like the fact that the monocular is a little lighter this way. One time my battery pack for my Pulsar scope went dead....I just plugged this battery in to the scope and it worked like a charm.
 
I was told by Sellmark that the DNV Battery Pack will last on average about the same as standard AA Batteries, so I would say 4-6 hours.

I guess the plus is it's rechargeable, but only 4-6 hours is a deal breaker for me.

You could always buy two. They're cheap enough. As much as I hunt, they'll pay for themselves rather quickly.

I see no advantages with this BP over rechargeable AAs other than ease of charging. I use the ebay BP but this BP wouldn't sway me away from my Eneloops that I use in all my other applications. As for super cheap, it's over twice the cost of Eneloops.
