Well my key fob battery is pretty much dying. Sad thing is, I bought a brand new Energizer this summer. :(

Well to my luck I was breaking a computer and saw a battery on the motherboard... CMOS one. It is a CR2032 battery and is a bit thicker then the one that is used in the key fob, key fob one is CR2025.

Do you guys see any problems with using the CR2032 battery? I put it in and tried it, it worked perfectly fine :biggthump , but I dunno if there is any long term damage that can be done to the key fob itself etc. :squint:

The only difference between the two batteries, is the lifespan. The CR2032 has more capacitance than a CR2025, so it will last longer. They both offer 3vdc, so there's no real difference, other than size.

On the other coin, the 2025 has a higher discharge current, than the 2032, but only by .1mA, so you're fine. ;)

Thats music to my ears :D

Better longer life span = One Happy Russian :rofl:

I also have a lot of computers laying around so they should have those batteries :D

Dont do it, it will blow up the car

I'll make sure to keep the key fob away from the gas tank ;)

I just bought a CR2032 for my garage door opener today :D Energizer, cost me around $4 bucks...2 packs go for around $6 ish

Them freaklets are expensive! :squint:

here we go, on a rampant growing problem of blowing up cars, garage doors...whats next to go up in a great fireball.....

Now that you mention the great fireball, that gives me ideas..... :D
