Sightmark Wraith Question - Orchard6 - 03-16-2020
I just ordered a Wraith and was looking for suggestions on an external battery pack. If anyone has used a particular battery setup and likes it let me know because the double As are only supposed to last 3-4 hours and Id like to have a little more battery life and something rechargeable.

O6,
I have a Wraith, a Photon RT and a Thermion XM38.....
I use a small Anker PowerCore all the time on all 3 scopes and my cellphone when I am hunting.
It works great.

CJW, Which Anker PowerCore do you use and how long does it last?

I own/use a Wraith. It's very easy on batteries.
I use lithium Ion rechargeable batteries and I get over 6hrs use out of them. Purchased off Amazon for $15 on a lightning deal.
The Wraith has a sleep mode that will extend your battery life, beyond the 6hrs. I like it, takes about a sec to come up, I use this a lot when changing locations and not needing to run scope.
If I used a external battery, I would use the smallest/lightest I could find. I rarely stay out more than 5hrs at night and I carry a spare set with me.

O6,
Ive got several different sizes...
99% of the time I get in a box blind just before dark and stat there until 01 or 0200....
I dont get to hunt much do when I do I try to make the most of my time.
My scopes do not ever go into sleep mode..... they are ready to shoot 100% of the time.
Buy my Ankers on Amazon..... keep gun on tripod.
Live Big,
Chuck
PS: Are you an 06!!!

I also use one to keep my hand held charged, It really eats batteries....
