I have the FTX64-2W RF kit for my remote start. The batteries that came in the unit lasted around 6 months. My wife had new Energizer CR2025 batteries installed and they only lasted about 2 weeks. I just got brand new Energizer CR2025 batteries and so far the remote works but I am getting next to no sound, it is there but very faint.
When I removed the old batteries I checked their voltage and am getting around 2V on 1 battery and -1.5V on the other! Why would they be different #1 and why would one go reverse polarity #2. They were both installed in the correct orientation and had the factory plastic ring around the batteries.
Please help as this will get expensive replacing batteries every couple weeks. Is it something where I can just purchase remotes separately from the RF kits?
