Did run it at 1500 to 2000 and not just tick over but you are correct as it does take a bit from the battery to start a big lump.Hmm a 15min run might not be enough to charge the battery, especially with the current pulled from it to start the old beast
God 'Enery did you get a book of sayings,observations and anecdotes for Christmas?Hmm a 15min run might not be enough to charge the battery, especially with the current pulled from it to start the old beast
Funny enough tried to unlock with my spare today (I use it once a week) and no joy. Fortunately for me fitted new batteries and job a good unSent my key off for a refurb after the unlock button decided to go on strike.
. Both batteries in fob totally flay when I tested them, only been in a couple of months
I had the key refurbed a couple of years ago and the new batteries lasted a week,phoned the company and they said send it back with a £6 prepaid envelope, they checked their work which included a new microswitch and batteries and said all ok. I had to replace the batteries again in a short time and did @warmers battery carrier mod I gave up using the remote and just used the key until last week when I needed to resync when I found the faulty switch. Trying a different company this time.Funny enough tried to unlock with my spare today (I use it once a week) and no joy. Fortunately for me fitted new batteries and job a good un
Agreed, if anything it will do it more harm than good. A good run ( alternating current ) is always the best way if circumstances allow.Hmm a 15min run might not be enough to charge the battery, especially with the current pulled from it to start the old beast
Mr sporty refurbed this fob for me a couple of years ago. It was back in a few days and that was over an Easter weekend as well. Like I said use it once a week to keep it active. Think the battery problem is crap batteries these days. Have bought brand new ones and they've been dead. Don't seem to get the quality these days
Have bought from supermarkets and online. Would say about same. The duff one was from fleabay, complained and got replacements sent
Has been discussed on here before I believe a lot of batteries are now made in the same factory and different companies just put their name on them. Once a name meant quality. alas not any more. Same thing applies to tools too
