Replacement batteries for garage/gate remotes

[Tropicalevo]

Any suggestions please for a watch or key place that can replace batteries for the remote controls for automatic garage doors and gates. (We need both.)

My 'go to' place on the airport road only does car/bike remotes.

He suggested watch repair places.

One in Big C and one in Lotus's  - any other suggestions please?

I can't offer a place, but our remotes come apart easily if you have watchmakers screwdrivers, batteries readily available on Lazada.

 

I'm surprised your local man can't do it unless he simply doesn't have the cells.

I am trying to save time - we have a number of different makes/types.

Thanks anyway

Fairy nuff, understood.

 

We have at least 4 cell types in remotes (apart from regular AA and AAA) but they are the same in the car remotes.

 

I just buy 10 of each type then when they go dead it's a 5 minute job. Of course, when you are down to two it's time to order more 🙂

How long can you keep these button cells in storage?

CR2025 cells have a shelf life of around 10 years.

 

The 12V alkaline ones that are in some remotes are good for 3-5 years.

 

Both tend to have manufacturing or use-by dates on the packaging.

Thankfully the wife doesn't need batteries ...

All the 12V I've had, the entire pack is bad by the time I've used one.

Thank you Crossy.

Never knew about CR2025 cells having a shelf life of around 10 years!

I bought a battery for an auto gate remote control at HomePro. Easy to replace.

Until you find out that her battery is really dead, what will you do then?
If it is a lithium battery it should never be discharged to 100%....
