Batteries 

 

  Half of all warranty issues can be resolved with fresh batteries of the appropriate voltage.  

  We suggest name brand alkaline batteries for indoor displays such as weather stations.   

  Use batteries dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries dated earlier than six 

years from now may still work, but may be unstable in performance.   

  Alkaline batteries manufactured this year will have an expiration date 10 years in the future. Battery 

technology has improved and batteries will maintain voltage longer in storage. However, the 
environment the batteries reside in for the 10 years can deplete the power. 

  Good name brand Alkaline batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF (radio 

frequency) interference from the battery compartment. A minimum voltage of 1.48V for each battery is 
necessary for proper performance.
