Ok, I have a battery that I bought for my other minnkota ipilot

the older model remote and I have just tried to find my book on the new remote that came with my terrova and I have misplaced it :( I am wandering if the same battery will work for the new iPilot remote on my terrova ?? I have a CR 2450 Energizer left from other remote. I notice the other day when I fished that the remote quit responding (it was flashing) and I connected my foot pedal to use and used it a little with the pedal and then the remote started to work again, I figured the battery was going down, only thing is that on the other TM I had, I had it for bout 2 years and never put a battery in it. Is the life that much shorter on the new remotes ?

Thanks

Larry

No. Some times they just get a glitch. You can sometimes stowe the motor and re deploy to fix it. Other times, especially after extended periods of inactivity, you have to re-learn the remote.

Thanks Carl, I was hoping the life of the battery was better than that, Ive only have this terrova for bout 6 months

Got the new remote in January, haven't changed the battery yet. You know I use mine way more than you use yours.

So can u replace the old remotes with the new one? If so, do they all work each other?

yep, yours has been used way more than mine, as I said I cant find my book, so is the batteries the same ?

Ok, looks like it is that same battery as the older model remote (CR2450) as best as I can tell from minnkota website

Everything is interchageable...batteries and remotes. I have two i-pilots and three remotes. I can use any remote, on any motor.

Yes
