Does the receiver module actually "stick" to the battery? Will I be able to use it if I switch between two batteries?

mine had the sticker on wrong when i got it. like some worker just slapped it on. was pissed off. smh. and so i had to pull it off and move it from the day i got it. it never stayed on well from the start. and i have two batteries. that i like to alternate with. since i have a samsung s3 which had a horrid drain problem with one of the android updates. u have to hold it down and veryyyy carefully put your cell cover on. u want the lil copper button things to stay lined up with the digiyes ones. or it wont work. u can tell if it moved .... when you try to charge and it doesnt work lol. then u know. and i tried to use tape and that made it not work. boooo mine had the sticker on wrong when i got it. like some worker just slapped it on. was pissed off. smh. and so i had to pull it off and move it from the day i got it. it never stayed on well from the start. and i have two batteries. that i like to alternate with. since i have a samsung s3 which had a horrid drain problem with one of the android updates. u have to hold it down and veryyyy carefully put your cell cover on. u want the lil copper button things to stay lined up with the digiyes ones. or it wont work. u can tell if it moved .... when you try to charge and it doesnt... » Read More mine had the sticker on wrong when i got it. like some worker just slapped it on. was pissed off. smh. and so i had to pull it off and move it from the day i got it. it never stayed on well from the start. and i have two batteries. that i like to alternate with. since i have a samsung s3 which had a horrid drain problem with one of the android updates. u have to hold it down and veryyyy carefully put your cell cover on. u want the lil copper button things to stay lined up with the digiyes ones. or it wont work. u can tell if it moved .... when you try to charge and it doesnt work lol. then u know. and i tried to use tape and that made it not work. boooo « Show Less

I've never used the tape on my receiver since I got it back in December and the charger works great on my Samsung Galaxy S3.You just have to take care when placing the contacts on the receiver on the contacts on your phone.

Yes it will stick to the battery. You can not glue it on the battery. Just try aligning it nice when you close the cover.
2088848
Yes, it sticks to the battery. So you would need one for each battery you have.

It does stick. And in my experience, can be finicky about where exactly it's sitting. You could certainly try to not peel the tape and just use it, but not sure how successful you might be.

Hi Sean, got the same Neewer. I checked mione just now. It works with a single battery in any of the two compartments. You find right on the bottom of the battery holder a markt that says how to use it - but apart from that it works both sides. Probably got an empty one? That happened with one of mine: that was obvious not correctly loaded and did - when checking - not work at alll. Hope I could help a little.

It came with a special battery for the switch, and for the 4 months I've owned it, I have not had to change the battery at all. The Receiver of course plugs into the wall so it needs not battery. I'm very happy with this purchase thus far!

You have to swap out the battery/transmitter in your remote device with the one that is recharging in the bottom of the base unit. Mine lasted a couple of months before I had to swap it. Maybe that's your problem. Otherwise I don't know.

I don't see that being a problem because the battery is in the sending unit. I know it gets cold in WI, but not cold enough to stop radio waves or electrons :-) When in doubt I always contact the manufacturer. I've been using this device (both units are in the house) for a few months now and it has worked flawlessly for me. One side note is that we have our house heavily insulated. It's wrapped in foam board insulation as well as the usual in-wall cavity insulation along with triple pane windows. After installing the extra insulation and new windows we no longer can use outdoor radio wave devices (indoor-outdoor remote thermostats). The receivers can't pick up the signal even if it's only a couple feet away with new batteries.

If you have it connected properly, it will switch on and off with the receiver.

I think I may keep it. I want to keep it anyway. I downloaded the newest firmware update which is supposed to deal with some of the issues with alarm presets and lost wifi connections so hopefully this will work. The battery pack finally was just made available on the logitech web site and I really like the idea of being able to use the radio anywhere for up to 6 hours with the rechargeable battery. I just ordered the battery pack so I will just try to wait it out to see if there are any more problems with the radio.

i am not having any issues with mine. i used it 2 time so far. if i did i would try new batteries in both units and sync them no more then a foot apart. you could also make sure the setting on the transmitter are correct to transmit

The receiver (Inside unit) runs only on house current. The transmitter (Outside unit) uses six AA batteries. I would not recommend rechargeables. The manual recommends high quality alkaline batteries. You don't want to be going out to change the batteries on this every few months. I use the high quality ones and they last more than six months.

My receiver isn't chargeable, so I do not know. The station plugs in or uses regular batteries.

I purchased my set on July 3rd, 2013 and the CR-2 battery in the transmitter has already died. Part of the problem is that the switches on both the transmitters and receivers are very touchy - often I've opened my camera bag to find that some or all of them have flipped on. I eventually jimmied a piece of gaffers tape to the transmitter to keep the switch in place, with some success. So, from my experience you're looking at about 6 months of life from the battery, with light to moderate use.

I had trouble with swapping the battery. I think I had two batteries of the right size, pried this open just fine, but once I FORCED the two batteries in, they were too tall (by the tiniest amount) and were constantly pressing on the chip's button. Has anyone run into that? I'll see if I can find those batteries that didn't fit and double-check their type.

I've tested batteries both ways and it works fine for me.Just read the owners manual that is included with the unit for full instructions on the proper testing procedures . And all safety instructions.

I had the same problem, I changed the battery (It's a CR2032 'button' battery.... available online for about 40 cents each) Once I put a fresh battery in it was fine. That was just a week ago, so I'll see how it goes. If it acts up again I will move the pins to channel 2 or 3 (less crowded area). Keep me posted, Don

I think it might be longer on the mechanisms, but, maybe six months or a year on the electronics. The one I purchased for my entry door in Ixtapa, Mexico has started to give me problems already and it has only been installed for less than one year. It shows that the batteries are low, but, it turns out that the batteries are fine, and for some reason, the contact the electronics are making with the batteries is not secure. I have to play with the battery cartridge to position it just right, or it won't work. I have written an e-mail to the company and have not heard back from them for over a month now. I am beginning to question their commitment to their customer service and to maintain their reputation. If they help me with my problem, I will certainly publicize it- but, at this point, it is not looking good.

Well, my experience is that each slot operates on it's own. Given slots 1, 2, 3, and 4. I insert a battery in slot 1, accept "Charge" as the mode, go to 800 mamp, accept that, and put a battery in slot 2. Slot 2 then lets you select the charging mode (charge, break-in, refresh, discharge) but slot 1 setting should not be affected. I just tried it with 3 batteries and experienced no problems. One thing to consider is this. By accepting, you press "Enter". For charging, you press "Enter" for charging, then set the charge rate with the up and down arrows. Then, you have to press "Enter" again for the charging rate. It may look like you had chosen the charging rate by pressing the up and down arrows, but to complete the setting, you have to press "Enter" again. I don't know if that's your issue, but that's my best guess.

Both infared receiver and transmitter take a CR 2032 watch style battery. Just be careful when taking the battery cover off. The little screws do not stay with the battery cover and will fall and be lost forever!!
