Battery for Leupold GX-1 Rangefinder

“Leupold GX-1 Battery”

Buy It Now on

You won’t need to replace it often, but you definitely want to carry an extra battery for your Leupold GX-1 Rangefinder. Leupold says their rangefinders go 10,000 actuations on a single battery, so the cost of batteries over the life of you GX-1 is going to be pretty insignificant. I bet most golfers will not need a new battery for at least a year. One of the best parts of a laser rangefinder is that you never have to charge it and you can keep an extra battery in your golf bag, so when the time comes, you won’t miss a shot.

If you have another model in the Leupold GX Series of golf rangefinders, to date (through the GX-4i) they all take a CR2 battery.

When you see the battery indicator on you GX-1 get low (most of the black inside that icon will disappear), make sure you’ve got your replacement battery ready.

To insert a new battery, remove the battery cover (shown below) and remove the old battery. Insert your new CR-2 battery, negative terminal first, in to the battery compartment. Close battery cover and you’re good to go!

Leupold GX-4 (slope) User Rating: 4.48 Stars 4.48 out of 5 (23 reviews)

Score compiled from multiple sources.

Leupold put some useful bells and whistles on the GX-4, but if you’re looking for a rangefinder to use in competition, this one is not legal for tournament play. Leupold tried to give golfers the best of both worlds with this rangefinder, by adding a Smart Key Faceplate that could be removed to disengage features that make the GX-4 legal. The USGA did not approve Leupold’s efforts, but hopefully, your golf buddies will let you get by with it.

The Leupold GX-4 measures slope (elevation), as well as the temperature, and estimates how far a shot should actually play. It can even suggest a club based on information you have provided about the distance you hit your clubs. When you’re not competing, these extra features can really assist in helping you learn about your game.

If having the removable Smart Key Faceplate is not important, the Leupold GX-2 has very similar features and is quite a bit less expensive. However, the construction the GX-4 is rugged aluminum and it has a red OLED, which is very easy to read.

Although there are not a huge number of user reviews, here are the pros and cons we noticed showing up in the reviews.

Most Mentioned Pros (in order of mentions high to low):
  • Quality
  • Easy to read – red OLED
  • Club Selector
  • Aluminum construction
  • Slope
  • Protective case
  • Easy to Use
  • Rubberized grip
  • Compact
  • Easy setup
  • Smart Key Faceplate
  • TGR – True Golf Range uses altitude and temperature to estimate the distance that a shot will actually play
  • Solid battery compartment
  • Accuracy
Most Mentioned Cons (in order of mentions high to low):
  • Confusion at first glance – it takes a minute to figure out actual distance versus TGR. After you figure it out, it is no problem.

Leupold Golf Rangefinders with Slope

Below are the Leupold golf rangefinders with slope. We think all Leupold laser rangefinders are solid performers, but what makes the Slope models stand out from other brands are the extra bells and whistles…

A feature called TGR (True Golf Range) uses sophisticated algorithmic software that uses temperature, altitude and yardage to calculate the distance a shot will play. The Club Selector feature uses information about your hitting distances to help you with club selection. Since you’re breaking the rules anyway, why not get the extra features Leupold provides.

All of the rangefinders below provide the slope and as well as accurate yardage to any target you can see. They vary in size and the display. If you want a model with a red OLED, you will have to pay more, but you will also be getting the most sophisticated golf rangefinder available (in our opinion;).

If you’re getting a rangefinder with slope and you are a bit of a golf geek, you really should try a Leupold golf rangefinder. You can learn more about your game and the factors that affect your shots with the extra features.

This model has been discontined. Check out the latest version.

Our Leupold GX-3 Review might just make you consider paying a few extra dollars for this highly rated laser golf rangefinder…

Leupold GX-3 User Rating: 4.58 Stars 4.58 out of 5 (31 reviews)

Score compiled from multiple sources.

Almost all of the reviews we read gave high praise to the ease of use and accuracy of the Leupold GX-3, but there were two additional comments that got our attention…

User after user commented on the high quality of this rangefinder, feeling it was rugged and would really last. The other frequently mentioned comment didn’t really surprise us, as we’ve seen it up close. The red OLED makes the the Leupold GX-3 very easy to read.

Although the GX-3 may be a little more expensive than some of its competitors, when you consider the years of use you may get from it, it might well be worth the extra expense.

Most Mentioned Pros (in order of mentions high to low):
  • Easy to use
  • Quality
  • Accuracy
  • Red OLED makes it easy to read
  • Compact size
  • Lightweight
  • Picks up yardages quickly
  • Scan mode makes it easy to to get your target
  • Improves your game
  • Prism lock feature makes it even easier to pick up flags with prisms and beeps when it gets it
  • Good Value
  • Legal for tournament play (Local rule must be in effect)
  • 6x magnification helps you see what lies ahead
  • Battery life
Most Mentioned Cons (in order of mentions high to low):
  • Difficult to hold steady for longer distances. (Only a few users had problems and it’s not clear if they were using Scan Mode or not)

We realize that’s not much of a list of cons. There were a few others, but we only list them if more than one user has mentioned a particular issue. Keep in mind however, that this is a much smaller pool of reviews than we have for many other laser rangefinders.

Our Leupold GX-2 Review looks at the pros and cons mentioned most often by users. The most frequent comment by far was that the GX-2 was easy to use. However, it’s the thing that was mentioned second most often that really gives it an edge…

The Leupold GX-2 not only measures the slope of a hill, but also takes into account the temperature and calculates how far a shot will really play. It also recommends a club based on information you input during setup.

Leupold GX-2 (slope) User Rating: 4.30 Stars 4.30 out of 5 (27 reviews)

Users really seemed to enjoy those features that make the Leupold GX-2 and the GX-4 stand out from other rangefinders.

  • Easy to Use

  • Easy Set-up
  • Quality
  • Size
  • Features
  • Accuracy
  • Easy to use
  • Price
  • Helps improve scores
