Rangefinder in cold weather

[Bucklowery]

Thanks guys for all the help and comments. Update. I was using lithium batteries. I had a two pack of well known batteries that I was using one in rangefinder and one for a backup. Both performed the same dim display in the cold weather and give a range only once it was warmed inside my jacket. Back home three nights tested in below freezing weather. Rangefinder was very cold to the touch but performed flawlessly as I checked three times during the day and night. Looks like I just got a bad pack of batteries. My luck. Thanks for all the help

Thanks

Buck

I think my internal batteries must be going bad, I slow down a lot when its really cold out.

Got nervous when I saw post #13. I got the Leica HD-B for Christmas and it worked after set up inside. Left it outside thls morning at 15 degrees for 2 1/2 hours and then tried it. All was well with this test as I got the same reading and ballilstic solution as previously on a predetermined target.

Good to go L; Have fun with your new toy! Whoever has the most toys when they die, wins!

We say pretty much the same thing in Alaska but with the additional qualifier .... "and if there is a tie, then he with the most fingers and toes wins!!!"
