The holosun SCS is the only optic I'm aware of that fits an MOS glock without a plate and co-witnesses with stock height sights. If I'm wrong, someone link to the alternatives!
Anyway, the SCS has a non-replaceable battery, it recharges via solar only. The theory is that it runs on solar and recharges enough just during normal use so you 'don't have to worry about it'. I dunno, I worry. I looked at the charge rate tables in the manual and it won't recharge at indoor light levels, it wants 10k LUX or more. Some users have said they just 'toss it on a window ledge every so often'. That's weak, and I don't want to have to store my gun on a window ledge.
Someone suggested they use a solar watch charger to keep theirs topped up, so I found on for $14 on amazon. Has two settings, 20k and 40k LUX so even if those are like chinese lumens and totally exaggerated it should still meet the 10k requirement.
With the square face adapter on, the G34 sits upside down right on the charger with the panel centered in the light.
Time will tell, but... it's a light. I can see it's on. If the SCS isn't a total scam, this should do the trick.
