Batteries 

 

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

  We suggest name brand alkaline batteries for analog clocks.   

  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 batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF interference 

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

  Analog Clocks: Use plain alkaline batteries. Overpowered or underpowered batteries may 

cause spinning hands, jerking hands, etc.
