United Kingdom 2015 Freelander 2 SD4 SE Auto Orkney Grey
Smart Key Fob

Just had the warning come up that battery was low. Used the spare fob and the same warning came up. Easy fix at £5 for two CR 2032 batteries and a minute out of my life but my question - does the onboard brain tell you that batteries are dying or is it that the warning comes up at year 3 regardless? Either Or, I should be ok for some time yet. MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

Good point as mine went coming up to 3 years but you will need new fobs soon going by my experience (swap over innards). FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Ukraine 2013 Freelander 2 2.0T SE Auto Fuji White

One of my fobs the rubber came away around the edges. Battery lasted 2 years. The other fob after 2 years replacing a battery started going through batteries at an increasing rate while on holidays last year. First I thought is was a dodgy battery that lasted a month. Then it stated only lasting a few weeks & the batteries ended up lasting only a day. I went through half a dozen or so batteries. LR replaced the electronics.

In general only use the car about once a week so the fob does not get a lot of use.

Once the battery gets down to 2.97 volts that is the end of them in the remote. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!
