Key fob battery

[rhino 2]

I change them on both fob's every year....

 

[Larry Sobczak]

Buy an extra battery and carry it with you. A lot cheaper and safer than being broke down along the road. When my battery went bad I was getting ready for a ride and was still in the garage, got my backup fob and was ready to roll.

 

[ISP-FL]

Had my 16 TG about 9 months now (8,200 miles) and I just had to change my fob battery for the second time yesterday. Either I bought some really old replacement batteries or something is discharging it. I keep my I-phone shoved down in the same pocket and have to wonder if somehow that is messing with how long the fob battery is lasting.

Thats whats killing the batteries....The FOB should Not be in the same pocket [Or near] any phones or other FOB's.. Like car FOB 's...

Fob

I put my fob on a leather shoe lace and wear it around my neck. The only time it comes off is when I bath. There is nothing worse than going out get on the bike and it won't start cause the fob is in the house. My fobs are two years old and still going great but I have a spare battery in the trunk

Ill tell you whats worst...When you put the FOB on a shelf next to the Trike in your garage, Drive off stop somewhere' Then when you have to start it again, Flashing lights and no start... And whats even more worster, I did that twice..:xzqxz:

That would be one way to carry it, but I can't take off my St. Michael and if I have both around my neck it will probably look like I have a third tit. Or worse yet, one of those medical alert call buttons......which my sons and grandsons would never let me hear the end of it.

But your suggestion got me thinking.....maybe I will secure it to my belt somehow so it is always with me but not close to phone or car fob.

Not long ago a little boy asked my why my Life Alert button was so much larger than his Nana's so I told him I am lots older than his Nana.

I use one of those quick clips and do attach to my belt.

I was in Lowes yesterday and that was more or less what I picked up to use.

Extra battery

I carry one in my wallet and one taped to the underside of the flap of my tool kit. I carry 2 just in case one of you guys don't have one I can give it to you and still have one..

Just changed battery in both fobs. Jim

 

[Texan]

Can't you just punch in your code of your fob don't work? I had to learn that trick early. Dealer gave me the wrong trike for the keys.

Strange dealership. You buy the keys and then they give you a new trike to go with them ???

Okay, okay it's Monday, I wasn't ready for the weekend end.

[rhino 2]

Thats the one thing i miss....The FOB, The slingshot doesn't have one, But i think the 2020 will come with it?...So i just leave the key in it....

perhaps a faraday bag????

I carry a spare battery for the fob in my trunk. Also, I have the pin set-up with my birthday being the code. A while back a buddy and I were out riding on a Sunday afternoon and stopped at one of our favorite watering holes. When we got ready to leave his bike wouldn't start. Fob battery was dead and he didn't know what the pin was because he had never changed it from the dealer code. He didn't have the card with him from the owner's manual with the dealer's code written on it. Since it was Sunday we couldn't call the dealer. I ended up riding home and coming back with my trailer and hauling his bike to his house. The next day I bought a spare battery and made sure I had the code set for something I wouldn't forget!

Once with my 2017 Tri When i left it with the dealer for Warranty work [Oil migration], By mistake i took the FOB with me and also forgot to tell them what # i had changed the code to.[Most times the factory sets the code at all #1's].......And they had no trouble starting and test riding after the Warranty work...:Shrug:....

It is amazing what the dealers can do with the powerful Digital Tech scanner
