If you are using keyless its about there. Keyless drain battery faster.

You are right any brand will do!

Energizer Li coin probably is OEM from Panasonic

Panasonic is one of the world biggest manufacturer of Lithium coin batteries located in Jakarta.

bring along a multi-meter to check the cell voltage >3.2V (typical open circuit voltage)

All primary cell meaning non-chargeable cell has a shelf life.

Left on the shelf, the cell has an internal resistance it self which will has a slow self discharge till the cell capacity is fully discharged.

Hopefully too the cell do not leak over time, else it will corrode your key internally and ending up you need a new key.....hehehe!....scare leh!!!

Mine lasted slightly more than 10 months. The weird thing is, after I changed it, the darn Change Key Batteries message still shows. Is there a way to reset it?
