So, I just bought the Hellcat RDP on the 1st of July, and already the battery has died.
Per SA's site, the battery should last 65,000 hours and elsewhere they say it should last 2 years.
I'm quite sure the gun I just bought has not been lying around in stock for 2 years or more.
The only thing that might have happened is that Springfield got in a batch of old CR 2032 batteries and shipped those out with the RDP.
Other than that, there may be an issue with how long these Hex Wasp "always on" Red Dot optics actually last.
Probably a good best practice to insert new batteries anyhow versus the ones that come shipped with the gun, but I would have thought the supplied battery would have been very new and recent.
