To replace the battery in the FOB , Do you have to do anything special to the FOB to change the battery out to a new battery.  I,ve seen on this site some peoples FOB don,t work after they change the battery out. I want to just replace battery.

i replaced my battery in my fob Np here  ..just make sure it installed correctly and battery is fresh

I bought a battery at a drug store.....after I couldn't disarm my alarm at the top of a hill in San Francisco.  Put it in and still couldn't disarm the security system.

Went and bought another battery (it was only a couple blocks walk) and still couldn't disarm the security. 

Called Jim and he walked me through how to use the switches and suggested that all the batteries at that store might be bad.  Got the bike running.....stopped at another store and bought a battery that lasted until I sold the SEEG.

Be darn sure it's a fresh battery.

Funny, I JUST had this happen to me this week. I knew my batteries were getting low as the bike would "chirp" a lot when getting on with FOB in pocket etc. Had a buddy who's completely dies and it was one year newer than mine. Had my wife go to the Jewlry Store for me to put new ones in both just to be proactive. Now, one of them works great and the other does not...  something happens when you swap batteries but still not assessed what's really going on.

Don't mean to actually Prop a manufacture, but I've found when I need batteries that sit idle for long periods or provide minimal power to devices that control other devices, Radio Shack brand batteries last far longer than anything else I've tried.  Especially those that come with the device.

Moderators... I'm still not 100% on the rules, so if inappropriate, please do your thing.

I say, be sure you know how the use the switches (and code) to disarm the alarm.  I learned this the hard way when I left the garage with the FOB handing on the wall.  Bike would not start 15 miles from the FOB

Check out http://www.batterybob.com/ best prices and real fast shipping. Almost everything I have from watches to car remotes, to bike fobs take the same battery. Bought a sleeve for the cost of a few at a local pharmacy.

Thanks-are the batteries fresh?

I don't know if the 06 stamped on these means made in 06 or what, there's no other indication on either side of packaging. However I did get these two years ago and FWIW one of them I use in a Suunto Observer watch that's manual states 1 year battery life, changed battery out two years ago and the low battery indicator hasn't come on yet. When I bought the watch it only made it a year(could've been installed earlier tho). I replaced bike fobs & remotes, car remotes, and trijicon red dot battery all with these once so far. No problems yet...
