Strong communication between your remote fob and the vehicle is crucial for remote entry, remote start, and push button start performance. Battery life is approximately 2 years in these styles of remotes. If you are seeing poor performance or your battery is not lasting that long, there could be a few reasons why.
- The battery is being used whenever the keyless remote is receiving strong radio waves. Keeping the remote away from the vehicle when it is not in use and avoiding putting the fob near electrical appliances like computers and televisions will help maximize battery life.
- Cold temperatures can affect battery performance. If you live in a cold climate the battery may not last as long as expected or signal strength will be reduced.
- Avoid laying the fob on a metallic surfaces or touching other metallic objects.
Following these few tips will help you maximize your battery life and performance.
