Not everything on your kit runs off a LiPo. Your red dot sight, your torch, your tracer unit, and plenty of other accessories rely on standard batteries, and there is nothing worse than a dead optic on game day. Keeping a few of the right cells in your kit bag means your gear is always ready when you are.
We stock the everyday batteries your accessories need, including AA, AAA, CR123A, CR2032, and LR44 cells. Browse the range below and keep your kit running.
While your gun runs on a rechargeable LiPo, much of the kit hanging off it uses standard disposable batteries. Red dot sights and scopes commonly use button cells like the CR2032 or LR44 for their illuminated reticles, weapon lights and torches often run on AA, AAA, or the high-output CR123A, and various other accessories use whatever fits their compact housing. It is the kind of kit you never think about until it dies mid-game and leaves you with a dark optic.
The simple answer is to keep spares. A dead sight battery or a flat torch can take a key piece of your loadout out of action just when you need it, and unlike your main battery you cannot simply recharge it on the spot. A small stock of the cells your gear uses, tucked into your kit bag, means a quick swap gets you back in business. Check what your sights, lights, and accessories take and keep a couple of each.
Always check the exact battery your device needs, as button cells in particular come in many similar-looking sizes that are not interchangeable. The marking on the old battery or in the device manual tells you what you need. Common airsoft accessory batteries include the CR2032 and LR44 for sights, AA and AAA for lights and gadgets, and the CR123A for high-output torches.
These keep the rest of your setup running, alongside the rechargeable LiPo batteries that power your gun.
Most red dot sights use a button cell, commonly a CR2032 or an LR44, to power the illuminated reticle. Check the marking on your current battery or your sight’s manual to confirm the exact type, as button cells come in many similar sizes that are not interchangeable. Keeping a spare avoids a dark optic on game day.
Weapon lights and torches commonly use AA or AAA cells, or the high-output CR123A for brighter models. Check your specific torch, as output and runtime depend on the cell type it is designed for. The CR123A is popular in tactical lights for its high output, so keep spares if your torch uses them.
Accessories like sights, torches, and tracer units run on disposable batteries that cannot be recharged on the spot like your main LiPo. A dead cell can take a key piece of kit out of action mid-game. Keeping a small stock of the cells your gear uses means a quick swap gets you back in action straight away.
