JohnA Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 11.93V Nominal is 12V, hell it should still be working really, shouldn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Piece of piss to open, and you can get the batteries from Toyota for a quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 yeah, I've got the battery in my wallet now. I was thinking of going to Maplin in case they have a replacement. The battery looks funny, like someone has squashed the negative side. Maybe it didn't make good contact, who knows... It should be working with almost 12V I'd think. Usually 12V gizmos give up the ghost when the voltage goes below 10V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I always clean the contacts on the fob and bend them in a little to make sure it's a good connection. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 Thanks guys. The contacts do look like they need some bending. I still wonder why the battery looks so battered (lol). It's like the negative terminal has been squashed with a hammer or something. Very queer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
