A machined aluminium replacement for the factory plastic battery cap of the Aimpoint ACRO P-2.
The RBC (Reinforced Battery Cap) was developed by Forward Controls Design with TangoDown. It is precision CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminium and Type III hardcoat anodised in satin black to match the body of the P-2. It has a thicker profile than the factory cap, and tight tolerances make it match the battery compartment threads and come off easily.
Key features
-
Two slots — An additional perpendicular slot makes battery changes easier; the deep, radiused slots take the Aimpoint tool or a coin without slipping.
-
O-ring seal — A supplied O-ring protects the battery cavity from moisture and dust.
-
Guards the brightness controls — Used with a TangoDown AALG-series Lens Guard, the raised cap flanks the P-2's brightness buttons and helps prevent unintended presses.
-
Matching finish — Satin black hardcoat anodising matches the P-2.
Compatibility and fitment
- Fits the Aimpoint ACRO P-2 only.
- Do not over-tighten: install until the O-ring seats and tighten no further.
- With the red tool supplied by Aimpoint, use the curved side on the RBC, as its slots are also cut to take coins. The flat side is for the P-2's factory cap.
- No known incompatibility with duty holsters.
