Hygrometer battery dieing

Rhamlin

Just curious what to look for to tell somebody their battery is going bad. I got a Colibri, had it over a year. Still works great but I've noticed crazy readings on it a couple times in the last month. One day it read 85% I moved it and later it was back to 69%. Hasn't happened since then.( about2 weeks ago)

I found mine at radio shack. Walmart and many other stores did not carry the specific kind that the Xikar's take.

smoke em if you got em

I had one that gave wild displays..... not even numbers. I thought for sure it (the hygrometer) was dead and needed to be replaced. On a last try, I took it to the local 'Batteries +' store to have them try a new battery. I knew if the battery didnt fix my problem that it wouldnt cost me anything. Turns out it worked great and has been going strong for 6 months now. So.... dying batteries can cause all kinds of funny stuff.

Always do a salt test after replacing a battery. That ensures that it is right. I have replaced several and I always have to hit the recalibrate button when doing a salt test. Once that is done you will be all set.

Fantastic, that's what I figured --- thank you for confirming my suspicion.
