FAQ - Can the batteries be replaced?

Yes! RF transceiver batteries can be replaced using a quality battery brand from reputable stores such as Bunnings or Mister Minit. If you take the transceiver with you, some stores also offer professional battery replacement services, which is recommended for water-resistant devices. 

To determine the type of battery required, simply check existing batteries for the correct battery nomenclature name/code; this will look something like CR2032 or CR123A.
