isn't that on par with the same risk for the batteries in other equipment? radios come to mind. even so, in the video, they say that the scope is functional even with zero battery power, likely at a fixed field of view. a radio with a dead battery is not functional as a radio at all. I don't see this as a big drawback. as an addtional point of failure, meh, ok. It looks like a net positive to me.
