Renata Watch Batteries - Types And Prices

By Jerry Phillips


Batteries or cells are a great source of energy for watches, phones, torches, flashlights among other stuff. The batteries tend to get exhausted with time and the frequency of use. When you use a flashlight more often, its battery is likely to run out fast and become useless. Timepiece batteries last for long especially after buying a quality timepiece. When they start running out, you will be able to tell because the timepiece will give you simple signs such as minimal movement of the second hand. You do not have to feel a pinch if your Renata watch batteries just so happens to die. Replacement is often the best choice and with the following tips, you will get your watch running back just like other new watches.

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.

While a mercury battery can last you about three years, when you finally run out of juice, be sure to dispose of them properly. While they can be fairly cheap, there is also a huge risk - so, be careful if you do decide to purchase one. A mercury battery will set you back quite a bit, because it is so dangerous. You probably won't be able to find a new battery anywhere in the US.

Old and used batteries sometimes find their way into the new timepieces and because of their flawed design, they have leaks and power drains faster than normal. Or it could be a result to over exposure to the elements, which include the rain, the sun, and even exposure to chemicals and radiation from other sources. You could short out the battery in your timepiece pretty easily and you need to be careful.

Unscrewing the back- Once the two parts of the bracelets are disassembled, you can unscrew the back of the timepiece using the pair of scissor. This is done by placing the pair of scissor at the edge of the back covering and pushing hard on it. As you push hard, it is essential to turn the pair of scissor counter clock wise to unscrew the back without causing any damages.

Silver Oxide- The silver oxide battery is made in the same way that the mercury battery is, but it's much less dangerous than the mercury chemical. In fact, these batteries pose little to no health or environmental risk. The silver oxide battery lasts about a year to a year and six months. They certainly don't last as long as mercury batteries do, but they're easy to dispose of, and you can find them at most drug stores or electronic stores.

This is an easy process when it comes down to it, but you must realize that certain timepieces cannot be operated on at home and must be taken to a jeweler for battery replacement. Waterproof timepieces are vacuum-sealed and any tampering with them may destroy the waterproofing.

Look at what your timepiece needs, and what sort of energy demand it has. A lithium battery is most expensive - but it does last the longest. Depending on what your needs are, you can figure out what works best.
