Battery door Issue.


Sat: Fox killing my neighbors baby geese across the street. So pulled out my AR-15 ran next door, 400m center mass. Sunday evening a large coyote came across the area and they asked me to come out and handle it. So, got my gear out, figured a great time to use my OBR, since the shot could be anywhere from 50 to 700m, so went out last night and set up on their property. Kestrel did not turn on, so opened the battery door to replace the batts, and the two small metal tabs that create tension on the batteries on the batt door fell off.


fix
Kestrel sells these 'battery doors' for 5 dollars. I called with the issue, they are selling me one and tossing in another as a back up. As mentioned before, great customer service.
