eating batteries in just a few days. anyone ever deal with this?
That don't sound right. Mines almost two years old and I'm fixing to change the batteries for the first time
Sounds like something (a relay) is stuck in the on position on the circuit board inside the remote.
Do you shut the remote off when stored?
Mine lasts forever, at least a year.
Call Minn Kota, something is wrong.
the original lasted about two years. i put a new one in it last year. this year it work at first and went dead. so i put another in it and it was dead within a few days. thought maybe it was a bad battery so i put another new one in it. again, dead within a few days.
what remote do you have ??? the old remote or the new one that's is out !!!!
the one on the left or the one on the right ???
Attachment 193875if you have the remote on the right you need to use this type battery CR2450N !!!
here is a place you can order them from !!!
Renata CR2450N, 3V, 540mAh, Lithium Coin Battery, Carded - BatteriesAndButter.com=
Make sure you are replacing with the Renata battery that Strmwalker mentioned. I couldn't even get mine to work unless it was that particular battery. Went through several different batteries before I found the info in a different forum. This was on the old original remotes.
Did you order yours or did you find it locally?Quote:
