Long story short, I haven't taken the AR out of its case in three months.  I accidentally left the M3 turned on to the highest setting when I put it away.  When I got it out, it was still nice and bright.  It did lose a little bit of brightness, but was still very visible in direct sunlight.

I know there's a lot of question over battery life, and this may help give a little insight to the battery's life.

That is way longer than I would have expected. Maybe the factory did a upgrade without telling me on tihis latest batch. I am going to run a test.

Thanks

I did not expect it either.  It was obviously a little dim compared to normal, but like I said, it was clearly visible in the sun.

Also, it's an older model.  I'd guess it's almost a year old now.  It's also still running on the original batteries and has seen maybe 3k rounds.
