Replacement CR 1616 battery for car remote on Samui.

[phetphet]

Anyone know where I might get one of these batteries on Samui? Smaller than a 1 baht coin. See comparison photo below.

A lot thinner than hearing aid batteries.

It's for a Honda City remote. I have ordered one from Lazada, but will take over a week to get here. Hoping to find a quick replacement locally in the meantime.

 

I have tried 7-11, and my next stop is the big Lotus by Thai Inter. Hoping someone might have seen or bought one recently. Save me some mileage running all over the place or having to go all the way to Honda Lipa Noi..

 

TIA.

Special batteries like this is hard to find locally, your best option is Honda in Lipa Noi.

Maybe try the locksmith on the road between arrivals and departures at the airport.

He is on the corner of the turning to the crocodile farm.

He is our go to person for cutting keys and 'breaking' into safes and he also carries some batteries for car/bike remotes.

By the way @phetphet: If it's motorbike remote/key battery, Honda in Maenam will have it.

Try Mr. DIY, they may stock some.
Otherwise Lazada / Shopee for sure.

Photo shops used to have batteries like that.

If can't find locally, then Panasonic Flagshop store @ Lazada has.  Ask about mfr & exp date.

Good idea. I forgot about him. He is not too far from me.

Thanks.
