I'm not much into a cogs so I don't no but does the acog run on battery to make it red or not (sorry if you said it already I didn't understand )

No, it runs on tritium, no need for batteries; which is the appeal of the optics. Trijicon's website can elaborate.
819728
Yes and no the Acog by Trijicon runs fully on a fiber optic cable. However there is a power cell within the scope to enhance your night shooting. However it doesn't give you night vision but the red accent color looks good threw any ATN thermal or night vision

The RMR dot unit runs on battery, but the actual scope uses a fiber optic band to gather light for the crosshairs and tritium when no external light is present.
819730
The primary ACOG scope reticle is powered by a combination of a Tritium radioactive source that generates a phosphor glow along with an externally mounted fiber optic light collection pipe that supplements brightness based on available external light. Accordingly, reticle brightness regulates based on ambient lighting. The RMR can be LED (e.g., TA31RMR) battery (CR2032) powered or "dual Illuminated" powered via a Tritium/fiber optic source (e.g., TA31RM04). There are also some combination ACOG/RMR models with adjustable LEDs (e.g., TA11-C-100238).

The upper red dot recital runs on a battery. The lower recital is illuminated by fiber optic. They are two separate gun sites.
819732
The acog itself does not run on batteries, if you get the acog with the red dot on top for close quarters, the red dot does require batteries but should run around a year

The main sight has no batteries, it uses fiber optics to gather natural light and the tritium when it is low light. The tritium will deplete over time, I think the life is 15 years. The top holographic sight runs on batteries, it is a watch style battery, and this model has no off switch so expect to change the batteries more often than a model that you can turn the holographic sight off, at least once a year. The upside is that if the battery is good you are always ready to go.

It runs solely on the battery, but the battery seems to be lasting way longer than the stated 3 hours of run time. I know I've forgotten to turn it off several times and it is still running hours later. I'm not at all unhappy with the battery duration.

Yes, It has recoil start and electric start. I use mine on recoil because I ain't gotta battery for it.

No its just for show. You can pull it back though. Its an airsoft gun so it doesn't need recoil power

It needs a 9v battery installed in the grip first. electronic guns do not function at all with out batteries. Once a battery is installed, press the top button until it comes on. It defaults into "safe" mode so both lights have to be green in order for it to fire. The manual will show you how to so that.

Hi Chris....Send it back and get refund. Product is really bad. They do not stay down when I charge my weapon or fire it (AR 15 pistol). JUNK!!! I am just glad I lost just a little money on these sight Best regards Steve

I don't remember exactly what type it was, it's one of those jobs that's like a watch battery but bigger. As far as the battery life, I hardly use the illuminated reticle so it's been pretty good, I still haven't changed the battery and it's been a couple years

Sir - this is a passive optic requiring NO electronics, NO batteries it slides onto a picatinny rail or weaver mount. My sight fit very tightly onto the picatinny rail of my defender shotgun. I had to tap it on with a rubber mallet before tightening the set screws. When you look thru the sight there is a horizontal crosshair line that runs atop a target centering triangle. There are elevation & windage (up/down; right/left) adjustment to "sight in" the optic!

It has a illuminated center dot that lights up red. Very nice to have. I've had scopes that had the whole reticle light up and it was way too much goin on in the scope and it would drain the battery way too fast. The center dot is simple effective and great on the battery. Plus with the crosshairs you won't even need the dot about 90% of the time.

If your asking about the battery for the red dot its the adjustment knob for the red dot intensity, the adjustment knob is actually two pieces, the very top of the adjustment turns counter clock wise to remove, the tricky part is holding the bottom half of the knob to keep it from turning with the battery cover, i hope this helps.

No it does not act as a battery. It RUNS off the battery and will greatly limit battery life. There is a setting that allows it to turn off automatically after a minute or two so that it will save battery life. I use the LCD to set my camera up on the dash or helmet and then let it turn itself off. That's really the only time it needs to be on so that you know your camera is aimed correctly. If you are using your GoPro as a still camera, then you would need to leave it on all the time to act as a viewfinder for each shot. GoPro makes a Battery BacPac that does double your battery life, but it can not be used at the same time as the LCD BacPac. Hope this answers your question. No it does not act as a battery.

The orange does not glow with tritium. I thought it would too. you need to put it into direct light for a few seconds to charge it up. Not very practical when you need it. :( Of note, on mine anyway, is that the front appears to be slightly vertical and the rears a bit horizontally oblong. This can help with sight placement.

yea leave it off until you need it then turn it on when you do there is no reason for it to be on when hunting from a stand. push one button and it is on. I have Dunn this with all my electronic sights when hunting with them never have had A problem

Not sure whether I understandyour question if you ask about timer, the right top button is for 3 seconds delay and shoot. The red button is for shoot at once

not sure, mine didn't last long at all. But not real sure if I had left it on. I don't think I did, but by leaving it in the Scope, I think it definitely pulls the battery life down.

On my AR 15, I have flip up iron backup sights should the batteries fail I can flip up front and rear sights looking through my Sightmark, my flip-up sights co-witnesses through my Sightmark. Thanks Jeff

It's a gravity thing. Put the red dot on the barrel face up, press the button, and you get red. Works pretty smoothly.
