Bushnell 1m battery

[Stetson]

I recently purchased a Bushnell 1m, but it has yet to arrive. Can anybody confirm is does NOT use a CR2 battery, which is in every rangefinder I've used. It uses a special battery that is a CR123?

from Bushnell's online manual....it is a CR123

That was how I read it also, they are just very rare. Thus causing me doubt as to whether I read the manual correctly, due to the subscript text of the 1

Who sells these replacement battery's and how much do they cost?

Unusual maybe...

Rare? Not so much. They're available all over for $2-3 each.

I bought mine on Amazon for a few bucks - I wouldnt consider them rare or hard to find.

I agree that you can find them online without a ton of effort. But I live in a town of 250,000 and it is very difficult to find one locally. Plus on amazon most of the reviews I read indicate they come in loose packaging and their longevity varies. I will almost certainly buy on amazon anyways

Any place that sells camera batteries should have this size. Hardware stores, big chain drug stores (Walgreens etc), of course Walmart and even some larger supermarkets.

One tip: Always carry a spare rangefinder battery.

I'm glad my Medalist uses a 9 volt, I have bought one at a 7/11 on the way to the course.
