FOB Battery Replacement - Still getting Low Battery warning

Tenomig · Nov 27, 2023

After a few years of regular use, my car started giving me warnings that the FOBs are at low battery (as expected), and need replacing. I purchased a couple of CR2032 batteries and replaced the battery for both my FOBs. However after a short while, I kept getting an occasional low battery warning for my FOB all the same.

I get the low battery warning for both FOBs intermittently. Replacing the battery with yet another new one on one of the FOBs did not help at all, so I'm thinking that it might be something to do with the sensor inside of the car?

Car model is a KIA RIO 2019 Hatchback. Any idea on what's going on and how to resolve this?

does the car say fob or is it the main battery warning common this time of year when the temp drops and battery sales rise

Hi & Welcome.

Which brand are you using?

Getting the best battery is important and a simple vid like this one is handy to have.. Might be worth checking out the fob to see if it's developing a fault..
