pakman92 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I usually run through 2 or 3 CR2 batterie each year for the use of my range finder. These batteries are darn expensive. I think over a lifetime of a rangefinder (hopefully 10 year +), this can add up to ~$100. I saw that a manufacture called Precision Pro Golf make rangefinders with lifetime battery replacement. Does anyone own/tried rangefinders from this manufacturer? pakman92 PMookie, tony@CIC and BIG STU 3 Quote Epic Max LS 11.5° (10.5°+1) w/ Graphite Design Tour AD IZ 6 stiff Epic Flash 3 Wood 17° (15°+2) w/ Project X Even Flow Green 60 stiff Super Hybrid 21° (20°+1) w/ Mitsubishi Tensei CK Orange 80 stiff Rogue Hybrid 5 (24°) w/ Aldila Synergy 60 HYB Graphite stiff 2021 P790 Irons 5-AW (1° flat, weakened lofts) w/ Aerotech Steelfiber i95 cw regular CBX2 Wedges 54°, 58° w/ True Temper DG 115 Wedge flex Odyssey White Hot OG #1 Stroke Lab, 33 in Pro V1 Bushnell Launch Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middler Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I got my NX7 Pro Slope in Jun 2020 so it's just over 18 months, I have been completely satisfied with it. I'm on my third battery and it still shows 3 bars (or whatever full is). For my first replacement battery I called PrecisionPro and they sent it, but the guy who answered said "you know you can just go buy one yourself." I didn't say it was urgent, so I thought it was odd (disingenuous?) he said that since they advertise lifetime battery replacement. I did just buy my third battery local, they’re not expensive - about $10 for 2 CR2-3V which I don’t consider “darned expensive” at all… I don't know how many replacements/year they allow, probably deliberately not published, but this tells you what they predict for rangefinder battery life (from their website). I play 2-3 times/week and I'm getting more than "seven to nine months" FWIW. Quote How long will the battery last? If you play one round of golf each week, the battery should last you seven to nine months. This can vary depending on how much you typically use a rangefinder during the round and if you store the rangefinder in a cold place.

ChuckZ Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I have a Bushnell and my batteries last much longer than a year. I have the ProXE and it has a magnetic for attaching to a cart.

BIG STU Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I did the original test here on MGS of the Precision Pro rangefinder---- How ever long as it was ago mine is still going strong> did have to change the battery one time. A friend of mine gave me one. Precision Pro must have seen my comment on here because 2 weeks later one showed up here free of charge. They had my address on file since they had to send me one to test. OP I would suggest comtacting Precision Pro because they are good people to work with cnosil, PrecisionProGolf and pakman92 3 Quote Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex- 5W TM V-Steel Fubuki 60r--- 7W TM V-Steel UST Pro Force Gold 65R----- 9 W TM V Steel TM MAS stiff---- Irons 2015 TM TP CB Steel Fiber 95 R--- GW Callaway Mack Daddy 2 52* shaft unknown junk pile refugee.

funkyjudge Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I have the Precision Pro NX7 (non-slope) model, and did get one replacement battery from them after about 8 months of use. However, I no longer use that rangefinder because I don’t like how slow and inconsistent it is in locking on to a target, plus the graphics are next to impossible to see in any type of bright light. If I am going to use a laser rangefinder, it will definitely be my older Bushnell unit, which is faster, more accurate, and easier to use. Quote DR - Callaway Paradym X, Newton Motion 4-Dot 4W - T.E.

Mikedb26 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Amazon, I purchased a dozen for $12. Yes the battery price is ridiculous for those, especially at a corner pharmacy.

Tincuptim Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I have a Bushnell tour v5 and replaced the battery once last year. Live in AZ and played about 250 rounds. Had a Leupold prior to that and got about the same amount of battery life. Like both of them but Bushnell was a little cheaper when it was time to replace. pakman92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
