Is there one on the remote?!?:confused: Hadnt noticed it if it's there but there's one to tell you how much charge your trolling batt has. It's located on the base of the trolling motor.
YEH it shows it in the book. Its right on the screen but mine doesnt show it
It was on the card that shows all the functions. But it says remote battery low. Maybe it only comes on when the battery is almost dead. It shows it just under the gps signal guage
it will look like a battery when it starts to get low, get you and extra at walmart and store it in the boatQuote:

ITS a eveready CR2450 SHOULD it be CR2450N Does it say that on the package or just on the battery? I didnt take out of package yet but there is no N. Just CR2450.
Sorry its not eveready Its a ENERGIZER CR2450 I bought. Is this the right one?
The remote say's cr2450 on the outside of the case but open it up and take a look. The battery that is inside is a cr2450n. It has a different shoulder on it than the cr2450. Way to go MinnKota, keep us all confused.. Go to Ebay and search cr2450n, they are lot's cheaper that Batteries Plus.
Here is the link, I was mistaken on the price. They were around $3.00 each but Batteries plus quoted me $6.25 each. 5 x New Sealed Renata 3V Lithium Battery CR2450N Swiss - eBay (item 270603194774 end time Aug-04-10 09:21:43 PDT)
I have remote battery indicator on my display. And Slimey is correct, The CR2450 will not work. You must have a CR2450N. They last a good long while though.
Not true. Mine has an Energizer CR2450 (no "N") and it works fine. Nevertheless, if the "N" version of this battery is guaranteed to work, then that's the only reasonable choice. Anything else is a crapshoot.Quote:

I tried an Energizer CR2450 in my remote, it wouldn't work with mine.:confused:Quote:
