Alarm Fob Batteries

[Iain Morrison]

Hi,

I don't think anyone has posted this before (apologies if they have) .. but if you have a good rummage (normally around the till area) in poundland / instore shops they are doing some Battery cards .. these have upto 10 batteries on .. normally a mixture of cr2032, cr2016 and cr2025 .. needless to say they go for a pound :winky:

Most normal shops tend to charge at least a couple of quid minimum for a Battery .. I hate to think what it would be from a main dealer ...I for one am certainly too tight to find out

ps the CR2032 are often used as BIOS or CMOS batteries for pc's and CR2016's in laptops for the same thing ..so unlikely to go to waste!

A few years ago (and out of stuipdity) I bought a replacement key fob Battery (CR1616) for my IS200 key from a Lexus dealer. Cost me £8. When I got home, I had a look on eBay and I found I could get a 10 pack of the same CR1616 batteries for a few quid with free delivery.

I think they are about a quid or so from the dealers, saying that i think it needs replacing again!
