The Aimpoint CompM2 red dot sight, a popular choice for military and civilian use, relies on a dedicated power source for operation. This power source is typically a specialized lithium battery, crucial for activating the illuminated aiming point that allows for quick and accurate target acquisition in various lighting conditions. For instance, a common choice is the DL1/3N lithium battery.
A reliable power supply is essential for the CompM2’s effectiveness. Consistent illumination ensures the sight remains usable in critical situations. This consistent performance is a major reason for the CompM2’s adoption by armed forces and law enforcement agencies worldwide. Historically, advancements in battery technology have contributed to the evolution of smaller, lighter, and more energy-efficient red dot sights like the CompM2, making them practical for widespread use.
