billytheghillie Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Have just acquired a Yukon Photon and question is, what rechargeable batteries do you guys recommend? Also I have a NM800 torch, is it worth getting the ir pill for it? If so where is cheapest and best place to get it. Thanks Guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 The ir pill for the nm is fantastic one of my best buys. Though I don't use with a photon I can't see why it wouldn't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshie Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) I just use regular batteries in the photon. I use a T50 torch with IR pill with it, so no need for the on-board IR so the batteries last for ages, and the torch gives more range than the on-board anyway.

oldypigeonpopper Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 hello, i do not use recharge batteries as never found any that work good in my mk1 photon but maybe another PW member can say on those, these were recommended by thomas jacks, engergizer ultimate lithium, i buy off ebay in packs of 8 or 10 for less than a £ each, as for the 800 torch i see I/R pils but they were expensive at £50 ish scott country,, and for that you can get a T38 with the new black sun i/r led check out ludicrous lumins.co.uk they do have the nm 800 i/r pil at £38 so worth a look, have you bought a mk1 photon or the new XT? i bought a mk1 when they first come on market and it is a good n/v scope some did not like the b/w screen others say to grainy picture but i use a front cap with a hole cut out and it improves it by 50% with using a seperate i/r and the photon i/r switched off so you save battery life .pm me if want more info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul taylor Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I got some good rechargeable batteries for mine from Maplin cant remember make of them at mo but pack of four, black colour. Seem to last ages but once again I don't use built in IR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 it is the new xt model I got, how does a separate ir torch fit to the scope? hello, you should do well with the XT, as magman said you can use the side weaver rail if you get a torch weaver ring which i use on my pcp ratting set up, on my CZ 455 and photon i use a 8 type clamp with the torch on top clamped to photon tube if there is room between scope rings, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
