Fob battery
OK. I have purchased my last 2 batteries at Batteries + and they are only lasting 2 months! That is unacceptable . I think it is CR 2025. Where are you all getting your batteries. [my first battery lasted YEARS]

Used Panasonic Cr2025 battery bought at Amazon.
Panasonic CR2025-4 CR2025 3V Lithium Coin Battery (Pack of 4)
Lasted from Feb 10 2016 till yesterday when message pop-up.
Also, i did see another discussion on this forum of using cr2032 instead. There are enough room to fit.
Im planning to use cr2032 next time.

Great point! I've bought generic AND brand-name batteries from discount electronic shops and have been disappointed every time. But the oversized (and brand-name) battery mentioned before definitely fits and should last quite a bit longer.
