Looks like the batteries in the remote wand for the RES in my van have worn out. Popping open the battery cover reveals three of the biggest "Watch" type batteries that I've ever seen. They are BR 3032 3V batteries.
Anyone else replaced these and if so, whose got the best deal? The best I've seen so far is $8, making this a $24 piece of maintenance.
As an aside, would it have killed Honda to have made this something rechargeable? The thing spends most of its time in the dock and it has a set of contacts on each end. Quite frankly, I had taken it for granted that the battery charged up when sitting in the dock.
