gillyallan Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Do I need a dealer battery for this or are they available in likes of supermarkets etc?Car complaining that I should replace battery as low.As long as changed quickly I take it they don't need reprogramming.

Frembrit Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Get a decent brand as cheaper brands don't tend to last too long. I've just ordered Duracell batteries for mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I think they are something simple like a CR2032. Easy to change, should say in the manual. Panasonic are also a good make of button batteries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillyallan Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 Cheers will have a look for duracell or the likes later and check manual (at work just now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Finance Guy Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 CR2032, any brand will do and they’re about 50p. I get mine on amazon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonro2009 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Any brand will do but some last longer than others. The poundshop ones are rubbish, JCB are also cr4p. I always go for Panasonic myself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ennvoqation Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I buy in bulk as the 2032 batteries are fairly common in many electronics devices (especially for video/camera gear). They last a long time n storage so always worth keeping a few around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillyallan Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 Thanks bought Energiser ultimate in Asda was £6 for 2. Changed it and works OK. Decided I'll use the spare fob now which feels great as brand new still. I'd guess that battery might not be too far behind due to its constant emitting signal for keyless entry. Hopefully go a little longer since buttons havent been getting pressed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Finance Guy Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Wow you got it sorted but that’s crazy the prize. On amazon you can get 10 for £6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillyallan Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 Suppose it is quite dear in comparison but original battery has lasted 3 years, so might not even replace them again while I have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Finance Guy Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 True. For my £6 I have 9 spares that I will struggle to use...false economy of some kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split the cost with a friend, or start a business selling them. Capitalism at it's finest. 😁 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
