This is a common battery type that is easily available at most stores or online. The good news is that a CR2032 battery typically comes included with your scope, so you don&#8217;t need to buy one separately right away.<\/p><p><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> It\u2019s always a good idea to have a few spare CR2032 batteries in your gear, especially if you frequently use the <a title=\"Quickly Acquiring Close-Range Targets\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.tractoptics.com\/quickly-acquiring-close-range-targets\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1077\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">illuminated reticle feature<\/a>. These batteries are inexpensive and lightweight, so they won\u2019t add much to your pack.<\/p><h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Remove_the_Outer_Cap_of_the_Illuminated_Rheostat\"><\/span>Step 2: Remove the Outer Cap of the Illuminated Rheostat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4><p>The illuminated reticle in the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/toric-34mm-4-25x50\/\">TRACT TORIC 4-25X50<\/a> scope is powered by the battery, which is housed within the rheostat (the <a title=\"TRACT TORIC 30mm 1-8\u00d724 LPVO Battery Installation\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.tractoptics.com\/videosview\/tract-toric-30mm-1-8x24-lpvo-battery-installation\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1071\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">knob used to control the reticle\u2019s illumination<\/a> level). Begin by threading off the outer cap of the rheostat, which is located on the side of the scope. To do this, turn the cap counterclockwise.<\/p><p>Make sure to handle the cap gently, as you don\u2019t want to damage any of the internal components or cause unnecessary wear on the threads.<\/p><h4>Step 3: Insert the Battery &#8211; Illuminated Reticle battery installation<\/h4><p>Once you\u2019ve removed the cap, you\u2019ll see the battery slot. Take the CR2032 battery from the package and insert it into the slot. Pay attention to the orientation: the positive side of the battery (the side with the \u201c+\u201d symbol) should be facing up. This is a crucial detail to ensure that the reticle illuminates correctly.<\/p><p><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> When inserting the battery, be cautious not to bend or damage the contacts inside the battery compartment. These contacts are delicate and essential for the reticle to receive power.<\/p><h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Replace_and_Secure_the_Cap\"><\/span>Step 4: Replace and Secure the Cap<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4><p>After inserting the battery, take the outer <a title=\"How to Reset the Turrets to Zero\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.tractoptics.com\/videosview\/how-to-reset-the-turrets-to-zero\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1078\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cap you removed in Step<\/a> 2 and thread it back onto the rheostat housing. Hold the housing in place while tightening the cap to ensure that the entire unit remains steady and aligned. Tighten the cap until it is snug, but avoid over-tightening, which could damage the threads or make it difficult to remove the cap in the future.<\/p><h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Test_the_Illumination_Settings_for_the_battery_installation\"><\/span>Step 5: Test the Illumination Settings for the battery installation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4><p>Now that the battery is installed, it\u2019s <a title=\"NRA\u2019s Shooting Illustrated Tests the TORIC 30mm 4-20\u00d750 FFP Riflescope\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.tractoptics.com\/nras-shooting-illustrated-tests-the-toric-30mm-4-20x50-ffp-riflescope\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1073\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">time to test the illuminated reticle<\/a>.

In general, a CR2032 battery can last several months with intermittent use. To prolong battery life, turn off the illumination when it\u2019s not needed.<\/p><h4>3. <strong>What should I do if the reticle doesn&#8217;t illuminate after installing the battery? <\/strong><strong style=\"font-size: 2rem\">(<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 2rem\"> Illuminated Reticle battery installation )<\/span><\/h4><p>First, make sure that the battery is correctly oriented with the positive side facing up. Next, check that the battery is fully seated and that the cap is securely threaded on. If the reticle still does not illuminate, the battery may be dead, or the contacts may be damaged.
