What types of batteries to make the rain shower work? What do I do if the temp indicator stops working?

I can't remember if it is a AA battery or a AAA battery. The battery door is on the bottom of the unit. I have used mine for about a year, and have not needed to replace the battery yet. I would imagine if the temp indicator stops working the batteries may need to be replaced. The lights in my shower head stopped working. It was not a battery issue. I have changed the battery but the lights do not work.

The shower accepts 2(AA) batteries. If temp stops working, just replace the batteries. I have mine for more than a year now and have not replace the battery yet. Temperature display still works but the LED light on the shower heads not working. I may just need to replace the batteries to make it work again. Replacing the batteries is not a problem, you just need a screw driver to open at the bottom of the shower unit.

Replace batteries or if you have rechargeable AAA batteries, they should work too

First check batteries. If OK check for moisture in the light. I have on on my fifth wheel and if it rains hard it will quit but dry it out and it is ok. I have had one on my porch for 2 years stillworking.

I've put mine in the jar (while taking my shower, etc) if I'm doing work outside and get sweaty - it will absolutely help - but putting them in every night is the best, especially if the weather has been warm & humid that day. Just remember to always take your battery out.

Just open the box and quickly remove your mail. I never had problem with rain. Changed batteries 4 times and still the unit worked only "sometimes". Today, FEB 10, the alarm DID NOT go off when the mail was delivered, BUT DID GO OFF when my wife opened the box and took the mail out. What good is that ?

Not sure which batteries you are referring to. It's a solar powered device, so as long as you expose it to enough sun/light, it ought to be working. We went through a week of overcast and rainy days, which was exactly the amount of time the moles needed to move back in. Second sunny day ...they disappeared.

There is an outdor unit available on Amazon that works with the intercomms and may serve your needs, but you would either need to find a way to safely power it if it would be exposed to rain or just remember to keep good batteries in it.

No heat, Haven't had any issues with water, they seem to handle it all just fine and I ride pretty consistently in the rain. It wires to the battery with an on/off switch. I'm sure you can wire with a controller if you get fancy with it.

It just seems like a design flaw that totally goes against common sense. Other companies make the water shut off when the battery dies. I would worry that I would come home from an extended vacation to find my patio drenched and my water bill 10 x the usual number.

well i would try to fix it myself first by checking all the batteries, check for water in unit etc etc. if all else fails you should let amazon know about this problem see if they will exchange if not move on..

Try the battery first, of course, but if that's not it, you should call customer service. One time they had me change a setting in the unit that plugs into the wall. I will say, though, that this is not a reliable product and doesn't last very long, especially if you are using it a place where it is subject to weather. I have two--one at the front door in a breezeway and one on a gate outside by the mailbox. The one in the covered area last a lot longer than the other.

Any AA batteries will work, I used regular ones and they are still working two months later

This may work for you. I found that if there is not water inside, just take the batteries out and let it "rest" for several days. Then fire it back up. I did that with my current unit and it has been working well for about six months now. Had this problem with multiple units.

Dear Florida, I looked through the owner's manual, and I can find no reference to a backup battery. I have experienced several power outtages, and all settings including time and date were preserved each time. Willy seems to have had a different experience with losing time and date, so you're left to figure out which one answers your question. Have you called/written Rainbird? That would give you your most authoritative rather than anecdotal answer. I've had nothing but good performance from my unit which I've had for nearly 3 years. The manual one-zone-at-a-time limitation has not been an issue for me, but I can understand it could be annoying for some.

I looked up the batt. Info. It is a 7.4v 2000mAh lithium battery. When looked up, found under features section but under heading: fixture features and not located in battery heading. I would try looking one up on Amozon. Hope this helps. Also check your power button on solar panel as it can kick off if too much rain. I believe this is a safty feature.

I only got caught in the rain once. I put the battery pack inside my messenger bag and had the light on my basket. No problems. Dried it off when I got home.
