MagPul MIAD/MOE/MOE+ AR-15 Pistol Grip Core - Holds 2 CR123A Batteries, Polymer Construction

The Magpul MIAD/MOE/MOE+ AR-15 pistol grip core is an internal battery storage unit built to keep your tactical rifle optics and accessories powered when you need them most. This polymer construction core fits inside Magpul's MIAD, MOE, MOE-K2, and MOE AK grip families, turning your rifle grip into a discreet battery carrier. Whether you're running a night vision setup, red dot, or illuminated reticle optic, having spare CR123A batteries stashed in your grip means you're never caught without power at the range or in the field.

The core unit is engineered around the CR123A lithium battery format, holding two cells in a self-contained, water-resistant chamber. The captured rubber cap opens easily with thumb pressure—no fumbling, no loose parts left behind. This is the kind of straightforward design Magpul is known for: low-profile, reliable, and built to take a beating. If you're serious about your AR platform and already running one of their grip modules, this battery core is an obvious upgrade.

Drop it into a compatible grip, and you've integrated battery management that stays secure and accessible. No external pouches, no Velcro panels—just batteries where you need them, protected from elements and impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this battery core fit my Magpul MOE grip?

Yes. This core unit is designed for Magpul's MOE, MOE-K2, and MOE AK grip lines, as well as the MIAD model. Check your grip model to confirm compatibility before ordering.

What batteries does it hold?

It holds exactly two CR123A lithium batteries. This is the standard format used by most modern tactical lights, night vision devices, and illuminated optics.

Is the rubber cap replaceable if it gets damaged?

The cap is captured to the unit, so it stays attached and won't be lost. We don't have information on separate cap replacement, so contact Magpul directly if damage occurs.

How water-resistant is the battery chamber?

The core is designed as a water-resistant unit to protect batteries from moisture and splashes. It is not rated for full submersion; use normal field conditions as your guideline.
