Hi Staab,

I don't have the same sight as you but I am in a similar situation. I bought a used bow that came with a lighted sight (A G5). In my case, it had batteries but they were dead. I don't know if it would be the same for the PSE but my sight had three watch style batteries stacked one on top of another between the light assembly and the end of the chamber where the rheostat control is. The battery is quite small and hard to make out the numbers on it but it looks like: SR916SW.

It looks like you might have a Pse Aries. check here: http://www.pse-archery.com/products/category/Aries/445.5.1.1.56.2475.50664.0.0

If you think it's a match, I would email Pse and ask them.

Good luck.

im in the same boat..my batteries are dead.
the batteries say on them "L736" but i havent been able to find replacements locally but i just found a bunch on ebay.
LeBaron has a small archery section and the guy at the booth looked at them and said they look like hearing aid batteries.
ebay listings say LR41 is the same...im going to check local probably tomorrow for them.

Hi EaZ8. Do you know what make of sight you have? I found out mine was a G5 Optix SE, they use a 373 battery on all their lighted sights that use a rheostat. The 373 battery seems to be pretty much unavailable anywhere in my area. I wound up ordering from G5 directly. The battery kit didn't cost much, shipping did which kind of got up my nose. Shortly after I placed the order I got an email from G5 that said given the small size of my order they would cut the shipping cost in half so they earn some bonus points there.

i have a Cobra sight with a Truglo led light.

I did a bit of looking today, it looks like your sight uses 1.5 v batteries, look for #393 on the package. Hope you have an easier time finding local than I did.

just got them at shoppers drug mart. they only sell them individually, ebay is much cheaper but i wanted name brand batteries... on ebay for 100 of them you can get them with shipping for $5 but they are from china and with all that going on overseas right now no idea if they will arrive...these were $2 each for Duracell and i didnt have to wait a month to get them.

Pretty sweet :)

Still waiting for mine. Thanks for the tip on London Drugs Scooter. We don't have em here in Ontario. I checked all the drugstores, grocery stores, electronics stores etc. When I came up bust at Radio Shack I broke down and ordered. One more good reason for me to move back out to BC. :)

heres the package of the ones i got...maybe this will help.
it came from shoppers drug mart, and they work perfectly. i guess the main think is to make sure they are 1.5V and just fit...i wanted name brand.
also im keeping a piece of paper behind 1 of the batteries so it cant accidentally turn on and drain, how the old ones did.

Finally got mine:)

Not quite as lit up as yours but I'm pretty stoked to have it set up finally.

looks great.
that pic of mine is with the room almost pitch black, mine is about the same as yours in daylight...try it in a low light condition.
