gnoring battery musts can leave you and your AN/PVS-30 sniper night sight blind
and in the dark.
Regardless oF whether you’re using the clip-on sniper night sight (CoSNS) single
or double battery confgurations, use only 1.5V AA alkaline or lithium batteries.
Never use 3.6 VDC AA batteries or anything similar—you could destroy the AN/
PVS-30’s circuitry. You can use 3.0 VDC 123 battery, NSN 6135-01-351-1131, but
only in the CoSNS single-battery confguration.
See the AN/PVS-30’s TM 9-5855-1916-13&P For inFo on installing the sight’s
batteries.
When you ship or store the AN/PVS-30, never leave the batteries installed. The
batteries can leak and cause corrosion bad enough to damage the sight.
IF you have any questions about how to handle batteries, please see TB 43-0134,
Batteries, Disposition and Disposal,
For more inFo. The TB is online at:
