Renata Watch Batteries - Types And Prices

By Jerry Phillips


So, your watch has stopped working. Either that, or time stopped at 10:15am. Either way, you probably need a new watch battery - if you've gone to the store, you probably realize the many choices you have in front of you. There are different prices, types, sizes and choices. If you're not sure where to look, you're going to be very, very confused. And if you choose the wrong Renata watch batteries, you could hurt your watch, and end up buying a new battery sooner than you would like.

Sure, we are not talking about the extremely expensive watches that promise a battery life measured in generations, we are talking about the normal mid range and slightly high end watches that most people are pleased to buy and display on their wrists. The battery sits right behind the timepiece, and can sometimes be seen as either one or two button cell batteries, each with AA rating of a maximum of 3V and able to power the timepiece for a couple of years at least.

But of course, nothing always goes according to plan and no matter how technologically superior the timepiece is there will always be a time when the battery will be at fault. Now, there are several reasons why this can happen and most of the time, it is due to faulty engineering of the battery itself.

Alkaline Timepiece Batteries- If you've purchased a cheap timepiece, chances are this is the type of battery it has in it. In fact, it's hard to find a cheaply made timepiece that doesn't have an alkaline battery in it. These are the more common batteries, mostly because you can purchase them very cheaply. You can grab one for less than a dollar at any gas station, drug store, or convenience store. In a pinch, an alkaline timepiece battery will do.

You can replace the battery yourself, but it is not a good idea for you to do so, because it is a delicate piece of machinery that you are dealing with. Go to a timepiece repairer and if possible, ask for a Maxell timepiece battery; these are among the more dependable and effective batteries out there that you can depend on to replace the factory stock cells and keep your timepiece going.

Take the battery off- With the help of the pin, you can take off the battery by sliding it gently under the battery and applying some little effort to pop it out. This should take you a few seconds. Once you have taken off the battery, look at it closely to note its serial number. With that knowledge, you can proceed to the shop to get a new battery compatible to your timepiece. When replacing it, ensure to keep the positive side up. Put things back together again and your timepiece will running like before.

Lithium- The lithium battery is, without a doubt, the most expensive timepiece battery. But it is for good reason - these batteries have the highest capacity, and can last the longest. How long? Up to ten years, maybe longer, depending on your timepiece, how powerful it is, and what you do with it. You shouldn't use a lithium battery on a high drain timepiece, however. Check your timepiece's manual to see what sort of drain it takes on the timepiece.

Ensure that you know the size of the timepiece cells for your specific timepiece before purchasing it for replacement. If you feel that you are not sure how to install the battery, then please do take it to a timepiece specialist or repairer to do it for you. When you tire of always replacing the battery for your timepiece cells, then you can always try the options technology has to offer.
