If I use an optic that has batteries, I always know how much "time remaining" there is and I always have spares.  I generally change out at 1/2 remaining battery time… just like I always have at least a 1/2 tank of gas in whatever vehicle I'm driving.  Time and equipment management.  With common optics, even the Eliminator (and the Swarovski dS), IF all the electronics fail, it still functions as a "regular" scope.  

The military uses and heavily depends on night vision, thermal and digital scopes.  There are always backups in case of failure.  Being prepared for the worst, expecting the best.  They depend on technology for more than taking a trophy… LIFE.

Knock yourself out KB.  It's not for me.  Stuff happens in the field and I prefer to keep it simple.  

I've seen Hodnett's guys stuff, and they use some equipment that you and I cannot even buy.
