Fob battery 2 yrs for us

[Fearless]

Just sayin anyone change battery in fob yet

I was lucky to get 10 months with my 2016 fobs. Doing better with my 19. Maybe keeping my I-phone further away is helping?

I change my fob batteries every year. It's a service item in my program. Back when, before I knew how to start the bike with the pin, I got stuck on my 07 ultra in Rawlings, Wy. Stopped for gas and after filling, the bike wouldn't start. After reading the manual, I was able to get a new battery and get it started. Since then, I change them every year, car, truck, bike or trike ...

Excellant yearly service tip. Fob batteries don't warn you,they just go dead.

Have never replaced my fob's battery on my 2018 but I plan on it this year, thanks Fearless for reminding us, more than likely I would have forgotten to do it again this year also.

All for now Trampas

I was in for a check up on the 16 before a long trip & tech asked me about the fob. He popped it open & tested. It was getting low so I had a new put in. Was over 2 yrs at that time. Now I carry a new one with us.This year it cost me many more thousands. Bought a new trike lololollo.

Yep, replace every year and keep a spare on the trike........

Changed out mine every year......Then spray paint the old ones Gold color and drop them in the Walmart parking lot, So people would think they found a gold coin...:sneakydevil:

What he said, every spring I replace mine, plus I keep a spare in the trunk. Over kill? Maybe just want to be prepared.

Change yearly and carry a spare

 

[graygoat]

Replace every spring AND carry a couple spares. When ever my wife rides along for a long day ride or multiple days on the road, we each carry a fob in our jacket pocket. Last Sept in AZ we stopped at a Navaho flea market. Went to start the trike to leave, nothing. Both fobs were dead. Put the spares in and away we went. I know there were no fob batteries available on that stop! No warning at all from the new batteries (last spring).

well now you only get 1 fob & 2 keys,,,, 1 less battery to change lololol

We had it happen on a trip too. We were at the Little Stonehenge on the Columbia River in OR. Not much there. Luckily had a spare fob battery. Once it happens to you, you'll always keep a spare in the tour pack

2032 Batteries are fairly inexpensive so changing them every year is cheap and really a good idea.

I got stuck at a rest stop and couldn't figure out why it would not start. Used the codes and changed the fob battery when I got home. I now change it every year and carry two on the bike. I have given two away at different times to other riders when their bike wouldn't start.

Just a reminder If you keep the Fob next to an electrical device like cell phone etc. It can shorten the life of the Fobs battery...

Have a "Happy Birthday" notification on my phone and tablet with a note to change Fob Batteries. Change them for vehicles and both bikes same time each year.
