Batteries Meade NV1001 Monocular night view Can a 9v battery be used instead of 6 AA batteries?

To change the battery on your Night Owl Explorer NOCX3 monocular, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Unscrew the battery compartment cover located at the bottom of the monocular 1.
2. Remove the old battery from the compartment 1.
3. Insert a new 3-volt lithium battery (123 type), which is also known as the CR 123A, EL 123AP or DL 123A 1.
4. Screw the battery compartment cover back into place 1.

Please note that some models of Night Owl Explorer use 2 standard AA batteries instead of a 3-volt lithium battery 1.
I hope this helps you change the battery on your Night Owl Explorer NOCX3 monocular! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Please always refer to the user manual.

Most uses CR123, 3 volt battery, or two double AA batteries. If it sparks, it works, stewbison.

It uses one CR123A 3 volt battery, or two 'AA" batteries. When installing batteries make sure you have polarity corrct. stewbison

OK, first it doesn't need a charger. Most charger are external types. Battery, it probably uses one (1) CR123A which is a three (3) volt battery, or two (2) "AA" batteries which are rated at 1 1/2 volts each. Batteries you can get them every where, Radio Shack, WalMart, Kmart, Sam's, Walgreen's, One Stop Batteries, etc. The average life for the CR123A is about twenty hours of use, and it probably the same for the double "AA's.

Here how this Famous Trails End NV FT300 Monocular work. The monocular has two button-one for on/off, and the other is for the IR luminations.

.WARNING!!!! This a night vision devise will be used at Night! Don't taking a look see at bright lights or using the night vision devise during the day... Light time.

Now the monocular has a build in shut off for to much light entering the image tube. Don't try it, it works. The more times the monocular NV is subjected to bright lights the more it destroys the thinly film cover over the plate. One it gone, new image intensifier tube and the cost will be about $200 plus shipping and handling.If you just have to take a look see in the monocular. Get a couple of optic lens cover that snap on. The front Optic cover drill about 1/16 in hole in the center of the cap, that it. Now you can take the back lens cover and remove it. Turn your monocular on and take a look through the eye piece. It should be green, if not, take it back the Pawn Shop and ask for a refund.

If you don't have lens covers that OK too. Just get in dark room and point the monocular at one of the corners. Don't point it any lights. It will turn green. I will advise you don't test the auto shut off. You don't know who had first, second or even third time, how it was handed and used. stewbison

Hello, Just remove the batteries. Also the batteries should be alkaline batteries. Not lithium, Ni-Cd, Mercury etc. Now, I'm giving you a little trick that I learn over many years work with electronics. Take piece of wire and make sure the batteries are remove. Take piece of tape and tape one end of the wire to the positive side (+), all it will be is little shinny plate. Now take the other end of the wire and tape it to the shinny spring this the negative side(-). Rember, there are two "AA" or "AAA" batteries.

The wire goes from + of 1st battery end in the battery compartment to negative side (-) of the second battery spring (-). Rember!! NO BATTERIES, while you are doing this operation. Let the wire stay on the battery terminal in the battery compartment for 5 minutes or so. What is does if the electrolytic capacitor is holding and want drop the current which switch is turn off, it will now.



Reinstall the correct batteries then turn on your ITT Mariner 160 monocular. GB...stewbison

Hello, most of these NV monoculars uses CR123A. It a 3 volt battery about 1/2 size of AA and its girth is a little larger. Aslo, some use two AA batteries. Little information here. Some of these night visison monoculars and binoculars that sealed for water infiltration are epoxy together. stewbison

Hello, NO double A's. Two CR123A 3 volt batteries. GB...stewbison

use 2 x AA Batteries

Hello David. David you night vision doesn't use any batteries that one installs. You have Kalinka Zenit NV monocular that is Russian manufactured but is sold by Night Vision Optics. Your night vision uses a piezo electric ignitor to charges the batteries and charge a couple capacitors.

The lever on top to the Zenit monocular is activated by squeezing the handle that is covered in a rubber type material. Just keep squeezing on the lever and in while things will start working. Best of Luck David. GB...stewbison

its likley to be a bad contact in the battery box thats stoping it working on internal batterys,,, try bending up the battery posts a little bit ,,but do this gently dont forse it
