When Should I Replace My Sprinter Key Fob Battery?
Just like anything else with a battery, it is inevitable that your key fob battery will drain out, especially with consistent use. Below are signs that you should replace the battery in your Sprinter key fob:
- Decreased Signal Range – Your key fob should be able to use anywhere from 30 to 60 feet. When the battery is depleted, the working range will be affected as well. Weather can also affect the range of use.
- Inconsistent Clicks – Clicking your key fob several times before receiving a signal can be a sign of worn-down battery usage.
- Unlocking Delay – A one-two second delay in your car unlocking from the time you pressed your key fob indicating that your key fob’s battery is wearing thin.
How Long Do Key Fob Batteries Last?
Your Sprinter key fob is estimated to last anywhere from three to four years. While your key fob battery will need a replacement we recommend that you avoid placing the fob within 3 feet of electrical appliances that produce a magnetic field, including TVs, laptops, cell phones, battery chargers, induction cookers, and table lamps.
