I was test shooting my Exomax last week; and hung it up. Today I picked it up, took a look through the scope, and saw the lumizone was still on. Dim.... but on.

Now i gotta get new batteries for it.

Has anyone else done that yet?

You got a week out of that battery running 24 hrs a day? That's pretty good.

Rage,

You and I must be suffering from the same affliction. I went to start my ATV today to plow the driveway, when I realized I'd left the key in the ignition in the "ON" position for a week. the battery was flat but fortunately the manual start worked on the first pull

So, if I confess to doing it am I admitting I'm an idiot, too?
Last deer I killed with the Phoenix I shot the deer, field dressed it, hauled it to the check station then the processor, came home and put my Phoenix up after wiping it off. Picked it up to hunt the two days later and the dots were glowing.

I've used up a few batteries in my day, in the same fashion

Take a trip to the dollar store - 2032s are 3 for a buck. Load up and keep some handy. You can tape a spare to the inside of your scope cover so you always have one extra.

Rage,
Ya had me worried there for a minute. I thought you were going to tell us you forgot your bow leaning against the rear bumper and backed up over top of it.

Cheers !!

I carry lot's of spare batteries for L-zone, rf, flash light and camera. Then I can't remember where I stashed them in my pack, so I go get more, lol. I'm going to hide my own eggs this Easter.
