Especially for stuff like button cell batteries.

You can't buy a 2 pack for that price even at Walmart.

u/sLaughterIsMedicine · 17 pointsr/talesfromtechsupport

This ones right. How much would a UPS battery cost? 180 2032 batteries would be about $108. Itd be even less if you go generic, about $40. So on a scale of 1-10, how bad an idea would it be to make a UPS battery with 2032s?

EDIT: found a 12v 45ah battery for $75. So would generic button cells be an acceptable replacement for a real UPS battery?
EDIT 2: apparently I can't math circuits right

u/ZKXX · 5 pointsr/GoPlus

These ones are working great for me

I've used one so far and so has my boyfriend, they're lasting longer than the ones that the Plus came with.

It’s very easy. All you need is a soldering iron, some solder, and some replacement batteries with the posts on them. Here’s the link for a set of the special gamebit screwdrivers and several batteries. If that is too expensive, there might be cheaper ones out there, but that is what you’re looking for when searching on amazon, cheers!

Changing the battery is easy
I had to do it in my keyfob, as my dashboard was telling me it was low and I didn't want to wait

Here is a link to the battery I bought
It is a 3V CR2032 Battery

u/rnelsonee · 3 pointsr/running

>My Garmin HRM-Tri informed me today that the battery on it is low so I’ve begun weighing my options of what to replace it with.

I guess you mean you're thinking it's a good time to upgrade? Because, pardon me if you already know this, but you can just replace the battery with a CR2032 with these instructions.

u/Elson23 · 3 pointsr/Acura

Just a CR2025 battery for your fobs each fob takes 2 batteries

u/tomscorer · 3 pointsr/GoPlus

So could you provide a link where you bought it?
Found it on Amazon.



Now another question: Doesn't it bother the GO Plus with the +0,6V extra Voltage?

u/pkmnlink · 3 pointsr/TheSilphRoad

Except when Energizer batteries are also cheap in price batteries.

u/powerjewcer · 3 pointsr/n64

Yes, ocarina of time is one of the 11 nintendo 64 games that use a battery for saves, you can buy batteries with the solder tabs and just desolder the old one and solder in the new one.

u/UsernameAttempt999 · 3 pointsr/Gamecube

You just need to replace the clock battery. It's a cr2032 watch battery with tabs, much like the ones used in old Pokémon games.

It isn't a very hard fix, but does take a bit of time. Here is a guide that shows how to replace it. I recommend reading it to make sure you understand the process before you begin, and that you have the required tools.

The battery is easy to find online, here is a quick amazon link I found as an example of what you're looking for.

Edit: by the way, if you don't feel like it, you really don't need to fix it. It's just annoying to boot to this message everytime. Most games won't be affected by this (animal crossing being an obvious exception).

u/bodhemon · 3 pointsr/TheSilphRoad

Has anybody tried getting rechargeable 2032 batteries? They have them on Amazon with the charging station.

u/dan000892 · 3 pointsr/analog

Assuming we're talking about a Spotmatic II, you can use an Energizer 387S or equivalent.

If you order from Amazon, order from Amazon direct and not a third-party seller or you're liable to receive 20-year-old batteries (speaking from experience).

(The Spotmatics were designed to take a 1.35V Mercury cell that's banned because environment, but the cameras have voltage regulation circuitry so they can take any battery in the 1.35-1.55V range that'll physically fit without altering the performance of the lightmeter. Fancy zinc air batteries (Wein cells) exist that provide the originally expected 1.35V and are marketed very well but don't waste your money. They don't last very long and they're not necessary for this camera.

u/funktopus · 3 pointsr/pokemongo

First thing reboot your phone.

While it's rebooting check the battery in the go plus. I've had a "new" battery be dead. I used a cheap multimeter I've had for years.

After the reboot go into the settings of pokemon go and "eject" the go plus.

Close pokemon go.

Turn Bluetooth on then reopen the app

Reconnect the go plus inside the pokemon go app. Of it's still having issue open the Bluetooth settings and see if you can see the go plus in there.

If you see it in the Bluetooth settings force close pokemon go. Might have to clear the cache or uninstall then reinstall. Redo the steps again.

If you can't and you're sure the battery is good call for a warranty on it. They are serious on the warranty date from what I heard.

Below is the official support page.

Good luck. Also Amazon sells Energizer batteries at a good price for ten of them usually. Go for those, the cheap batteries last half as long as the Energizers. I get a week to a week and a half on one battery. I use the go plus every day for hours at work and my commute. The Energizers are worth it

These are what I've bought. Shipping is pretty quick even though it's not a Prime item.

Hope this helps.

u/sucksbro · 2 pointsr/arduino

looking for something like this? they sell these things at radio shack for pretty cheap. You can also get just the jacks and use any compatible battery!

u/supereater14 · 2 pointsr/flashlight

I also have a brief question about this light. I have been looking for extra batteries online and found the ones that came with the light here, but I was wondering if these batteries would also work. They look to be higher capacity, with the same voltage and form factor. My main concern is not with whether the light will accept them, but rather if the charger will charge them properly. If any of you have any experience with these things, I'd love to hear back before I go ahead and buy 4 of the things.

u/trashpanda8 · 2 pointsr/Watchexchange

Well, I spent an hour typing this up before I accidentally hit refresh and deleted it all, so let's try this again.

Let me begin by saying that the T2E581, Weekender and camo NATO are all in good condition, they just don't get the wrist time that they deserve and that is why I am offering the lot up for trade. Ideally I would like to trade the whole lot for one watch although I'll consider offers for just one of my watches or pairings of one of my watches with the camo NATO.

First watch I'll describe is the Timex T2E581. It is a lovely watch that I very recently acquired in a trade, it just isn't my style and it hasn't (and likely wouldn't if I kept it) gotten the wrist time that it deserves. It is in good condition, although it does has a scratch that is barely noticeable around the twelve o'clock position. The watch's dial itself is a cream color with roman numerals (note the watchmaker's four (IIII) instead of IV) and a day and date window in the three o'clock position. The watch features the iconic indiglo feature, which is great at night, whether your out in the middle of no where or laying in bed and don't want to be blinded by the light of your phone.

Case Diameter: 40mm

Lug Width: 20mm

Water Resistance: 50m

Amazon lists this watch for just over $50. Link to Amazon page


Next is the Timex Weekender. I got this watch sometime in August and have only worn it a handful of times. The watch is in great condition and has no damage that I can see. The dial of this watch is an off-white color and the case is a silver color. The watch also features indiglo, just push the crown in and the dial will glow. The Weekender makes for a great beater and is great for camping, hiking, and whatever other outdoor activity your into. Included is the box, stand thing, and papers that it came with.

Case Diameter: 38mm

Lug Width: 20mm

Water Resistance: 30m

Along with the Weekender is the original blue with grey stripe NATO that it came with and a white with blue stripe Weekender NATO that I picked up at a flea market. Full disclosure: the white and blue strap appears a little worn and the white appears kinda discolored, although I did try to clean it. The blue and grey strap on the other hand is the strap that the Weekender came with and is in great condition. Both are comfortable and are 20mm wide, matching the lug width of the Weekender. Note that both of these straps are Weekender NATOs, meaning that they are one piece and slip through. Not sure if I described that well enough, but you can see what I'm talking about in the pictures if you compare them with the camo NATO.

Amazon lists the Weekender for just over $30. Link to Amazon page Note that I'm pretty sure the watch I linked is the white version and the one I am offering is off-white.


Last part of the lot is a high quality 20mm camo NATO strap. The strap is in excellent condition, it's actually never been worn. Like I said above, it's a great NATO, it's just not getting the wrist time it deserves so I figured I'd include it in this lot and see it go to a good home.

If I missed any details or if you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment or send a pm.

Happy Holidays!

u/ravenouscraving · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

Good, cuz they're so expensive.

u/_____FRESH_____ · 2 pointsr/Guitar

You should consider getting one of these. http://www.amazon.com/2-1x5-5mm-Power-Battery-Button-Connector/dp/B005D65LEG

I drilled a small hole in my Wah body and ran the cable through it so the battery was never an issue.

u/Icouldbeanyone · 2 pointsr/wiiu

Had to replace the wife's battery in her fit meter so I ordered these from Amazon, super cheap and they've been trucking on. Our Walmart down the street didn't have any.

Bought a 10 pack (well 2 5 packs) of energizer CR2032s for $7 yesterday on Amazon

u/koshgeo · 2 pointsr/gaming

It's weird how Logitech decided to deal with the inevitable degradation of the battery after a while. They were no help at all. But the batteries are easy to order from ebay or amazon. It's wicked difficult to wedge the old battery out of its slot, but a couple of months ago I replaced the battery in mine after several years of almost continuous use and it works fine again. The batteries are cheap. $5 or less. I bought two batteries so I have a backup.

I'll take replacement after a few years for $5 over constant recharging or regular battery replacement for a wireless keyboard. I'll also take a wired keyboard over a wireless one for gaming, but if it's a work keyboard, this thing is great. If only Logitech weren't so unhelpful with battery replacement.

u/SirCarrington · 2 pointsr/guitarpedals

In order not to draw current when not in use you'd have to install a stereo jack in the guitar like a guitar with EMGs. It won't draw current when the cable is unplugged.

You just replace the DC in jack with a battery clip to power a micro pedal with a battery or buy something like this.

u/meemo4556 · 2 pointsr/techsupport

Depends on whether or not you want continued warranty and your level of technical expertise, heres an example of a newer cpu battery and here's an example of an older one.

You should contact your motherboard's support before trying any of this, they might just send you a battery for free/cheap.


u/Triskite · 2 pointsr/18650masterrace

Date first available May 2019, no wonder I hadn't heard of them.

What charger do you use? This?

u/shoguntux · 1 pointr/familyguythegame

Yeah... but these are 9v batteries, not AA, which, from a quick search, came up at around $40 (might be able to do better if I cared to look around more).

If you don't care what kind of batteries you're getting, and you went for CR2032 batteries (which are the same batteries used inside desktop computers to keep track of the internal clock when powered off, as well as used in many watches), you could get 50 of them now for $8, although I've seen them as low as $5. But that's not getting the same kind of batteries as are in game, so really isn't a fair comparison.

I do get your point though. Prices are rather high overall, but it's mainly going to be the whales buying stuff like that anyways, so why complain?

u/Franz_Ferdinand · 1 pointr/Watchexchange

Rats.

I do also have this watch if that tickles your fancy. Just put a new battery in it and a new strap on it. http://www.amazon.com/Timex-T2E581-Cream-Brown-Dress/dp/B000N6497Q

2 MROs, an RMR and an Aimpoint all going continuously for 3 years with no issues. I just recently replaced them all "Just in Case" not because any of them failed.

ETA: Wll technically the MROs haven't been going for 3 years, only about 2 years each. They were both left on setting 3.

u/brusifur · 1 pointr/BurningMan

Here are some random thoughts I had. I attended my first burn this past summer, and I flew there from Alabama.

  1. Those rental bike places sell out really fast. If you plan on renting one, you should start making phone calls six or seven weeks ahead of the burn. Personally, I wanted to actually prepare my bike for the burn, so I bought a cheap used one in Alabama, and shipped it to my friends who drove the RV from the west coast. This was actually cheaper than flying with a bike as checked luggage, which has tripled in price in the past ten years. I say, support your local bike co-op, and you will also get to lubricate your chain, and triple check all the parts etc. At the end of the burn, there are literally dozens of places to donate your bike so you don't have to travel back with it.

  2. Building your costume is a year long hobby. You can't start too early. Visit thrift stores and peruse the internet and setup your outfit early. Fill up your Camelback, and gather all your essentials, then try riding your bike around. You want to find any weaknesses before you leave civilization.

  3. You can't have too many bike lights. Do not buy expensive commuter lights. A forward facing headlight is good, but the nicer ones will just blind other bikers. They are designed for cars to see you. There is enough ambient light generally to see ahead of you, so you should focus your efforts on cool led blinkers. Last summer, I brought a pack of 25 batteries for these lights : http://www.amazon.com/CR2016-Lithium-Button-Cell-Batteries/dp/B002BZOMYM/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1383073869&sr=8-4&keywords=cr2016. Basically every LED blinker uses this kind of battery, and if you buy them from a Walgreens, they cost like 5$ each. You can buy 25 from Amazon for 7$ with that link. Even if your blinker uses the larger cr2032, you can stack 2 of the 2016s and it works. You can also trade fresh batteries for stuff you need.

    Those are just my random thoughts.
u/hank101 · 1 pointr/photography

I posted this before, handy at night if doing time lapse, astro etc, frees up both hands! And it's very bright, throw in some extra batteries because cheap.

I just did this yesterday with a SNES game (Super Mario World - my all-time favorite). You absolutely should NOT just pry the battery out, you run a really really high risk of breaking those fragile pieces. Soldering it is much safer and effective and actually takes way less time. Solder the two points on the pack of the board and the entire battery will slide off. You can either solder a new battery with tabs already attached or you can solder a battery holder for easier repair in the future, although these fixes will last 10-20 years. I got the battery holder and battery for less than $8 at Radio Shack.

u/krynd7 · 1 pointr/techsupport

Check your CMOS battery and replace it if you think this is the appropriate fix.

https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-CR2032-Lithium-Coin-Cell/dp/B0787K2XWZ

Ultimately, the real "fix" is to allow yourself extra time in the morning and to leave early, this way you have time in case anything happens. It's also possible that your school doesn't have perfectly synchronized time (I once worked somewhere that set the time 4 minutes ahead, which was conveniently the length of the grace period HR allowed before you got extra points added to your record on top of the point for tardiness).

LiCB CR2477 3V Lithium Battery (Pack of 10) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G4XLBB5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_R824CbZ8JRPVG

I bought those and my sensor works just fine with them.
Edit: I just saw someone link a 2450 so I guess it depends what gen sensor it was. Mine came with a 2477 in it though.

u/CrabApple2005 · 1 pointr/gshock
u/Broadbanned · 1 pointr/buildapc

Sounds like your CMOS got cleared, and possibly the battery is too drained (low voltage). The battery is a CR2032, they're pretty inexpensive usually. You can find them at most stores i.e. Walmart, Target, etc.


What motherboard and graphics card do you have btw?

u/zakmackay · 1 pointr/NoStupidQuestions

The cylinder ones (baby carrot) are also not rechargeable and the disk (chopped) are. Nothing stopping them from being the other way. Rechargeable are special and not the norm for them. It's because of different chemicles and construction inside of it. They are built where the chemicals reaction can be reversed.

Consumers are willing to pay a fraction more for rechargeable. Which is why you see them more often. The disk are rarely replaced so don't need to be.

u/zouxlol · 1 pointr/buildapc

Amazon or a local battery store. Here's an example. The battery in your motherboard should show the name of your specific battery etched onto the top, otherwise I'd check the manual of your mobo

I just changed one out and I used needle nose pliers. Here are the batteries I bought. Cheap and they work with my 3D TV glasses.
