Key FOB battery drainage

Shahid.Malik (Shahid.Malik) 2020-02-02 21:07:47 +0500 #1

My key fob battery of Honda civic X 2017 drains off in days. I replaced two batteries in last month. New battery installed 3 days back and today its again showing key battery sign.
Can anyone tell me and guide what is the issue and how to resolve this.
Thanks

The issue must be in the key. Maybe there is a short circuit? Is it under warranty?

try to put new battery in spare key FOB to verify either your one key fob is faulty or the replacement battery is substandard..... The original / good quality Batt could be around Rs,500/- each.

Tried very good batteries. Don't know what is the issue.

Warranty ended in 2019

seems like some sort of short circuit

take battery out of this remote and let it rest
use the other one

unless you have money for new spare . i am sure you wont opt for circuit operation/repairs

I tried to remove the battery, cleaned the inner side of key and then inserted it back yesterday.
Till now it is working fine and there is no error for low battery.
Let's see may be it resolves the issue.
But this morning i checked that the main battery of the car is low on charge so may be this is causing issue.

What if car battery is low on charge? this cause issue in FOB key

As advised, First verify by using spare K FOB where the problem exists. I removed the spare key FOB batt to avoid damage due to batt leakage.

I replaced another car batt CR2016 today from the same guy who gave me CR2032 8 months ago working perfect....

He says the chinese one costs Rs 70 and Jap Maxell Rs.250....

Chinese will be depleted in weeks and can damage the circuit too

I am using CR2032 and i bought it from F-10 for RS 500 but i hardly worked for 3 to 4 weeks. Then replaced it again and it worked for only a week.

I tried to open the FOB and cleaned it fully. The low battery sign has gone and since last two days it is working without any error.

Let's see if it keep working or again it gets drained.

Thank you for kind support dear.
