What purpose does the battery serve? What would happen if I removed the battery entirely?

What's the purpose of a keyless entry lock if you don't want a battery? The battery powers the lock for the keyless system.

It not only powers the keyless function, but the battery also lights up the buttons if you try to operate it in pitch-dark. If you remove the battery, the lights will not light up, the keypad will not function, and you will not be able to use it for the intended purpose...AS A KEYLESS LOCK. Leave the battery in, JP.

I'm not familiar with that question. But this works if or battery is removable

No. The battery slots are more like holes. Removing one has no effect on the rest of the batteries.

I think it is intended to provide backup so yes, to a point. It turned the entire box blew out as well as old battery I had to get Verizon to replace it all so I couldnt use this one. . Battery is difficult to install for layperson.

The theory is that it is a power outage backup. The problem is that it goes dead even though it is supposedly not being used. Without the battery you get warnings.

Hello, according to the manual "Battery should only be removed when trimmer is to be discarded. Do not attempt to replace battery. Insulate battery ends by covering with tape and/or place battery in a small plastic bag." You can see the documentation on this unit at: http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?slg=en&ctn=XA4003/42

I would say to leave the battery in the unit. If, on the other hand, you were putting the unit away for several months then it would make sense to remove the battery to both reduce drainage and to avoid possible leaks in battery fluid (not likely but it has happened to some of my flashlights and an electronic device when batteries were forgotten for more than a year).

I think it would possibly overcharge which would decrease the battery life. I charged it once and it has held a good charge for many months but I don't use it much.

Since it has a solar cell on it. My guess is your problems are more than the battery. I would toss it.

I think the battery goes to a disconnected storage state rather than being maintained. More like you put it on a shelf after a full charge. It will slowly leak down

Sorry I don't have a clue, the one I have doesn't have a place for a battery either. Maybe someone at the factory decided to have a little fun and you were the recipient of their humor? The other side of it, maybe someone is short a 'mini flat battery'... Mine powers up when the computer starts up and shuts down when the computer is off, I leave mine plugged in all the time.

if it doesn't say anything about a battery, assume that it does not. Most sellers don't warrant their batteries. There may be a great charge on it, it could be gone, so-so. Mine had a frisky battery life. Good luck

Hi The Battery is for backup. Its good to replace the battery after 2 or 3 years. Very simple to do. It is a Great switch.

I never remove the battery. Just turn it off and it will not discharge. If you are not going to use it for a month or two it is(as the others have also mentioned) good practice to remove the battery to guard against chemical leakage which can happen...........enjoy your Chrony and may the force be with you.

I have no idea...it's a totally rechargeable battery so I don't think you ever need to remove it.

I don't see any benefit of leaving it plugged in, if enough time passes I'm sure the battery pack would die. I personally unplug mine when ever I finish using it for my ride.
