After 3+ years, got the "low key battery" warning

I’ve had good luck with amazon batteries, 4-5 years

 

I see you explain again why you don’t want a battery monitor. A third user fob would have kept the originals pristine.

 

i think you get two, eventually

 

in the 11+ years i had my pip, i only replaced the fob batteries once

 

Is the second fob in the original little plastic bag as it comes with from Japan? Where do they get those dirt cheap Ebay “made in Japan” Panasonic batteries? They would have to pay way less.
Thats terrible the gen 5 only gets one key. Im sure glad I got the 4 that gets two keys. Fobs.

 

Right, but do you know the 2032 aren’t imposters for 50 cents?

 

I have bought the same for years. I suppose they can look real. Something is true if we believe it. The new George Castanza world we live in. Or is it if we believe it, it’s true.
I looked at the one I have left in the package with 2030 exp date. Panasonic made in Indonesia.

 

get one from a dealer for $10. just to be sure

 

Autozone has one Eveready for $8.99 or $10 with tax. My daughter went there last week to get the fob battery replaced CR1632. Not an issue every few years.
A retailer of substance buys the batteries from the manufacturer, chain of custody. Ebay is definitely a question mark. One needs to ask how they get things so cheap.

 

The letters in Panasonic are closer together on the one on the right, and all the stamping is thicker. The figures have differences, like the head and object are not spaced the same distance away from the body. Not that it proves anything. I saw online people showing how to test them.
You say retail package. I bought injectors that were in perfect Toyota boxes and every detail on injectors was perfect, except the holes in the injection nozzle were not as cleanly made. I tested, all were under the ohm spec. Got money back. Seller disappeared after a while. There is a reason things can be sold for a small fraction of the regular price. How are they getting them, shipping them, and making a profit? Theft from stores may be one.

 

Actually no, they have the same room, just the 3v is up higher on the one on the right. Not related to the differences, and the people are different. The letters and lines are all just fatter but take up the same space by being closer.
