Zitat von MrVvrroomm im Beitrag #16 Careful. Cheap batteries from Amazon are often rebranded generic knockoffs. Not saying that is the case for these, but at $0.50/battery, buyer beware. Legit CR2032 batteries should be over $1 per. |

This morning I changed the CR2032 batteries in our wireless heated gear controllers and bike key fobs.

Zitat von TriangleRider im Beitrag #17Zitat von MrVvrroomm im Beitrag #16 I think what you're trying to say is they're fakes. It's possible but if that's the case, Everready would be all over Amazon. Amazon sells a ton of those. If it makes you feel better though, buy from here. I know the owner and I know they're not fake. https://www.batteryjunction.com/cr2032-cat.html

Zitat von Ray B im Beitrag #22Zitat von MrVvrroomm im Beitrag #18 It's my only carry gun with a battery. It's not my ONLY carry gun. Sometimes simple is good.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #13 The original battery lasted approx 10K miles one my R1250RS. After roughly 1500m the 2nd battery initial warned of 50% capacity and then gave the message 'Remote key battery weak. Limited central locking function. Change battery.' which I did. This has been repeated after another 1500miles. The batteries I use are from Boots the Chemist CR2032 3v but like most such items made in China. My dealer informs me that bikes get the message designed for cars, hence the reference to central locking!! They also said BMW are aware of problems with battery messages but not issued a fix and I could not get any details from them. At the 12K service the dealer said they could not find any fault on my bike. My questions to members in the UK is where do you get your replacement batteries and have you found replacements have limited life? John |

Zitat von JAG im Beitrag #24Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #13 My experience has been that you really have to pay more and buy a name brand CR2032 battery if you want it to last in the BMW keyless system. I bought 5 Chinese-made SE-brand "3V/210mAh" batteries from American Scientific Surplus for $2 and the one that I tried didn't last more than a couple of months. However, the Energizer battery that I bought a couple of years ago to replace the original battery when it started to die (after using the SE battery), is still going strong. I guess like a lot of things you get what you pay for.

Zitat von JAG im Beitrag #24Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #13 I bought these in Dec 2016 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001GZEWAW/r...7986871_TE_item a 4 pack of Panasonic after buying my R1200RS in Sept 2016. When I changed the first one the OE battery was also Panasonic. I still have 1 left so you should be able to deduce that they have been lasting well over 5 years and 24,000 miles.

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #26Just revisiting this thread out of interest... as it happens I needed a CR2032 battery for something in the house today, and then remembered that like all sensible RS pilots I have a spare, factory-sealed one under my bike seat. Turns out that this spare is as dead as a doornail so would have been utterly useless had I ever needed it for the bike. It's probably 18 months-2 years old... Maxell brand, so ought to have been OK? No idea where I bough it. I'm pleased to see that Wessie's 2016 link to a tried-and-tested brand on Amazon is still working, so I've just ordered that!Zitat von JAG im Beitrag #24I bought these in Dec 2016 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001GZEWAW/r...7986871_TE_item a 4 pack of Panasonic after buying my R1200RS in Sept 2016.

Zitat von Freddyfruitbat im Beitrag #27 Surprised it was dead. They usually have a very long shelf life. The Energizer ones I buy have a 10 year shelf life and I usually check the packaged date when I buy them.

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #28Zitat von Freddyfruitbat im Beitrag #27 I've been keeping a spare in my tankbag and decided to use it instead of the brand new ones I bought. It had been in the tankbag for no more than 18 months or so and turned out to be no good. It was a Duracell Energizer. A fresh battery cured all. I didn't have the "use by" date as I trimmed the excess wrapping off, no telling how long it had sat on the shelf before I bought it. I was surprised, too. Reinforced my "change the batteries each January" policy to change my "spare" also. Frank 2017 R1200RS- 44,000 mi. 4 yrs. |
