Takes 2 seconds. CR2032at Wally world

 

3 for $1.00 at the dollar store

 

I use CR2032 for another application and find that the Radio Shack brand Lithium last considerably longer than other brands.

Four months after I bought my bike the fob battery died. This was a brand new bike. So you just never know. That's why I now change mine once a year.

 

yep keep a spare in the bag-ride safe

 

I replace my fob batteries every spring. Once a year just like a smoke detector. Peace of mind.

 

Seems like forever... Just fails at the worst time when you least expect it!!

 

The first thing you should do is look at the battery get the number buy a spare and put it on your bike. I keep a spare in my tour pack.

 

i guess i'm the odd man out on this one. if the battery goes out on my fob, i will just use the manual disarm procedure until i can get to walmart/dollar store/etc.... to buy a new one. why stick a battery in your tour pak where it is subjected to hot/cold temperature fluctuations that reduce its shelf life so that when you need to replace it, it is only gonna last you 6 months?

 

Good insurance, but keep in mind the battery has a 'shelf life' whether they're used or not. So, if you've carted a spare around for a couple of years, you'll want to replace that one too.
