  • Rigel Systems QuikFinder AA Battery Holder

    The Rigel Systems AA Battery Holder is the ultimate power upgrade for QuikFinder users who demand maximum reliability and longevity. While the standard lithium coin cell is excellent for occasional use, this external holder allows you to power your reflex sight with two standard AA alkaline batteries, providing an incredible 2700 hours of continuous operation—nearly 10 times the life of the original battery.

    This accessory is particularly valuable for star parties, outreach events, or cold-weather observing sessions where coin cell performance can often dip. By switching to AA power, you ensure your "bullseye" reticle remains bright and steady for months or even years of typical use without needing a replacement.

    Simple, Tool-Free Installation

    Rigel Systems has engineered this holder to be a straightforward DIY upgrade that requires no technical expertise or complex tools.

    • No Soldering Required: The kit includes a specialized battery clip that fits directly into the existing coin cell slot on your QuikFinder.
    • Quick Modification: Simply clip a small notch as indicated in the instructions to allow the wiring to pass through the housing.
    • Secure Attachment: The holder attaches firmly to the side of the QuikFinder body using high-strength double-sided tape, maintaining the sight's compact profile.

    Reliability in All Conditions

    AA batteries are not only longer-lasting but also more resilient in extreme temperatures compared to small lithium cells. This makes the AA Battery Holder an essential addition for astronomers observing in northern climates or during long winter nights.

    Once installed, the battery holder becomes a seamless part of your finder setup, ensuring that your equipment is always ready when you are, with the added convenience of using batteries that are available almost anywhere.

  • Will this make my QuikFinder too heavy?

    While AA batteries do add a small amount of weight, the QuikFinder remains one of the lightest reflex sights on the market. Most users find the slight increase negligible compared to the massive boost in battery life and cold-weather reliability.

    Do I need to remove the internal battery?

    Yes. The AA battery holder uses a clip that occupies the original coin cell slot. You simply remove the CR2032 battery and insert the new clip in its place to draw power from the AA cells.

    Can I use rechargeable AA batteries?

    Yes, you can use NiMH rechargeable AA batteries. While the total voltage is slightly lower than alkaline, the QuikFinder's efficient LED will still perform exceptionally well.
