LaserMax Battery Life. This info from friends at LaserMax:
"Battery life in our sights is nominally ninety minutes of continuous use. However, our silver-oxide batteries actually recharge when not in use, so,in normal employment, the unit will render good service for several years. To play it safe, we recommend batteries be replaced once a year.
Batteries can be purchased in drugstores, Radio-Shack, Wal-Mart, et al. In addition, we sell them, shrink-wrapped, for convenience."
Comment: My LaserMax (on my SA/XD 40S&W) has seen heavy use the past few months and continues to function normally. However, the lens is right under the muzzle and thus gets coated with soot during heavy firing. I noticed that the unit was dimming several weeks ago and, at first, thought it was a battery issue. However, after wiping off the lens with a handkerchief, full brightness was restored!
