General topics » battery life in key fob

hello all
went to start my bike did not realize it had to be on centre stand but it started up when I put it on centre stand
how long does the battery last in the keyless key fob please

My original battery lasted 3 years. The replacement battery is still going strong. But when you purchase a replacement battery be sure to get a name brand. Cheap Chinese batteries don't hold up for long (ask me how I know).

I might add that my RS starts up easily when on the side stand. When the fob battery gets tired you will see a warning symbol on the dash and may have to get closer (such as sitting on the seat) in order for the bike to pick up the fob's signal.

The key fob battery does not fail without warning. There is no reason to be anxious about it. My experience is at least 30 months life.

cheers all for your words of wisdom problem now sorted purchased new Duracell battery for key fob
now sorted

Sorry if this is answered elsewhere. Are there instructions posted on how to replace the battery? Also what size battery does the fob take?

I just bought my RS, and I'd like to at least have a spare battery handy.

Thanks

The battery in my 2015 fob died this Fall, or at least started showing low battery warnings. It was showing the warnings for three weeks or so before I changed it, and still working, although I did noticed the range was reduced.

My key fob/bike just gave me the low battery warning yesterday. Ordered the duracell battery for replacement that day.

Mine lasted three years. Replacement is very simple. I keep a spare in my tail pack with my rainsuit and puncture kit...

My is coming up to 3 yrs old and just came up on the dash as being low. Fortunately I got a new Vernier caliper for Christmas and it came with a CR2032 so no need to buy one just yet.

I will be starting my third season with this RS in four months , hopefully . I changed the battery a month ago, just in case. For $6.00, no need to worry battery going dead.
