Reticle in my lighted scopes doesn't need electronics to make them visible. They look like a normal reticle until you put the power to em at which point they turn red or green.
I have them and use the illumination some when hog hunting close to dark, makes the crosshairs stick out against the black hog otherwise I don't see much advantage to them, maybe a little at the very few first or last minutes of daylight.
Have to run em on low at these times or they will be too bright to see the target.
