Rigel Systems QuikFinder AA Battery Holder
The Rigel Systems QuikFinder AA Battery Holder replaces the standard coin cell, powering your finder for up to 2700 hours with two standard AA alkaline batteries. This simple upgrade requires cutting a 1/4-inch deep notch for the wiring and attaches to the side of the QuikFinder with the included double-sided tape.
2700-Hour Runtime from Two AA Batteries
Swap the limited life of a coin cell for the endurance of AA power. With this holder, your QuikFinder runs for up to 2700 hours, an increase of nearly 10 times over the standard lithium battery.
Solder-Free Upgrade Requiring a 1/4" Notch
Installation requires no soldering. The included wired clip inserts directly into the QuikFinder's coin-cell slot. The only modification required is to cut a 1/4-inch deep notch in the side of the finder's body with a drill, clipper or other tool and tuck the wires into it; this will not void your warranty. The holder then mounts cleanly to the side of the unit with the supplied double-sided tape.

How much longer will my Rigel QuikFinder run with the AA Battery Holder?
The Rigel QuikFinder AA Battery Holder extends the operating life to up to 2700 hours using two AA alkaline batteries. This is nearly 10 times longer than the standard lithium coin cell that comes with the QuikFinder.
Do I need to solder anything to install the Rigel QuikFinder AA Battery Holder?
No, the installation is solder-free. The kit includes a wired coin-cell clip that plugs directly into the existing battery compartment. You only need to cut a small notch in the side of the QuikFinder for the wires to pass through.
Will cutting a notch for the Rigel QuikFinder AA Battery Holder void my warranty?
No. Making the required 1/4-inch deep notch in the side of the QuikFinder body will not void your warranty.
What tools are needed to install the Rigel QuikFinder AA Battery Holder?
You will need a tool to make a 1/4-inch deep notch in the side of the QuikFinder body. The instructions suggest using a drill, clipper, or other similar tool. The battery holder cover itself is secured with a Phillips screw, so a Phillips screwdriver is needed to install the batteries.
Will the Rigel QuikFinder AA Battery Holder fit on my QuikFinder mounted to an 8" SCT?
Yes. The Rigel QuikFinder AA Battery Holder attaches directly to the body of the QuikFinder reflex sight itself, not the telescope. Its compatibility is independent of the telescope it's mounted on, whether it's an 8" SCT, a small refractor, or a large Dobsonian.
