Going Through Batteries   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #819 of 859 |

Lately, my onHand has been reporting a low battery about two weeks after replacement.  Marrisoft's SYSWATCH program reports the voltage to be 5.5v,  which seems sufficient.  Eventually, the watch shuts down, and won't reboot until the batteries are replaced.

 

I haven't measured the batteries with a meter yet, but I wonder if there is another problem.  The watch has two very small batteries mounted on the system board.  Could it be that they are low, and making the watch conclude that the larger batteries are week?

I checked the web and found that the 2025 and 2032 have the same diameter (22mm).  However, the 2025 is 2.5mm thick, while the 2032 is 3.2mm.  Also,...

Thank you for the tip about the 2032 batteries.  I have a pair in my watch now.  The cover turns only half-way between OPEN and CLOSE before becoming tight,...
