Maxell CR1616 3V Lithium battery for use in remote control

You will see from the features listed against many of the remote controls we sell, that this battery is very widely used. We choose to stock the Hitachi Maxell branded batteries because it is so highly respected in the industry. These batteries are made in Japan and out perform cheaper batteries every time.

The batteries are very well made and we have been selling them now for almost 10 years without 1 failure. Because we turn over a lot of batteries and order directly from the importer the shelf life on our batteries is always long. The current batch we have in stock now has 8 years shelf life left on it. 

This is a 3 volt battery and in many of the remote controls that use it you will find it will continue to work, possibly intermittently for a period of time, once the voltage drops below 3 volts. However you will notice that you need to be nearer to the receiver for the device to respond, be that the garage door or gate or your vehicle. This is a good indicator that the battery needs to be replaced.

These small flat round batteries are often referred to as button cell batteries.

These batteries should never be recharged and attempting to recharge them may cause harm.

We are always happy to test the battery in your remote and have a number of different devices in our shop to do this. Leaving a flat battery in a remote may cause it to leak and this can cause a lot of damage inside the remote.

It is always best to replace the battery when it runs out.

We replace batteries in our shop and please note we do charge for this service, as it is carried out by trained staff and these staff have to be paid. 

If you simply wish to buy the battery and fit it yourself that is not a problem but please don't ask to use our tools and any damage caused by you while changing the battery may void the warranty for your item.

WARNING! KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Never allow children to replace button batteries on any device. Swallowing or placing a button cell battery inside any part of the body may lead to severe or fatal injuries in as little as 2 hours or less due to chemical burns and potential perforation of the oesophagus.

If you suspect your child has swallowed a button battery or placed inside any part of the body, immediately call the POISONS INFORMATION CENTRE on 13 11 26 for prompt advice. If your child is having any difficulty breathing, contact 000.

Dispose of used button/coin batteries immediately and safely. A battery can still be dangerous even when it can no longer operate the device. Place sticky tape around both sides of the battery and dispose of it immediately out of reach of children in an outside bin or recycle safely.
