PKE died this morning. I went to replace the FOB batttery and can not find a match anywhere. The existing battery is a Maxell CR2450.
I have been to 2 dealers , 2 radio shacks and a few auto parts stores with no luck. They all have CR2450 batteries but they do not fit the FOB.
The maxell has a grove around the edge of the battery that locks under tabs in the FOB. All the CR2450 batters that are now available do not have the grove around the edge of the battery and do not fit in the fob. Where do you find replacements?
Thanks

There is no problem getting CR2450 batteries but there IS a problem finding ones with the groove. The first time I bought a non-grooved battery this caused the plastic retaining clip to break. So I tried filing down the edge of the battery and ruined the battery. I was able to find a couple of CR2450s with the groove at a local watch repair store but I have never seen these anywhere else--good luck.
