Has Eotech fixed their battery issues/bugs that were plaguing them not too long ago????? I am interested in the new 516 but want to make they have their crap together now. The EOTech known issues are: 1. EOTech N series (551, 511) - Problematic and discontinued. 2. EOTech 553 battery contact recall - New model 553s do not have this problem but older models do. The older models must be retrofitted with the new battery compartment to fix the problem. 3. EOTech 557 NV Whoosh reticule - Large thread on this here in the Optics section. It looks to be an isolated run as I haven't met anyone else with this problem on their 557. 4. Leaking batteries - Affects all EOTech models? and can be mitigated by using Lithium batteries instead of Alkalines. 5. Compressed battery spring causing shutoff during recoil. This is supposed to be addressed by new XPS series with transverse battery. There's no EOTech representative on this board so some of this info may need to be updated. |
