Friedland wireless door bell doesn't work - wrong battery?
Hi,
I had the friedland libra d261 wireless doorbell with plug in chime working for about a 16 months until it stopped last week. The light in the bell push was not working so I assumed it was the battery. I bought a similar coin shaped 3v battery but can't get the damn thing to work. The battery I bought is a duracell dl2025 3V battery and the one in it is Newsun CR2032 3V battery. Does it matter that they're different? If the doorbell is buggered can I send it back to friedland as the tlc-direct website (who I bought it from) says friedland have a 3 year warranty (of course I don't have any proof when or where I bought it!). Cheers |

The battery I bought is a duracell dl2025 3V battery and the one in it
is Newsun CR2032 3V battery. They are different batteries. IIRC, the last two digits signify the thickness of the battery in 1/10ths of a mm. i.e. 2025 is 2.5mm thick, whilst 2032 is 3.2mm thick. Some 2032 battery compartments would not connect properly with a 2025, whilst others will. 2032s are much more common than 2025s. They have significantly greater capacity in not much more space. A folded up piece of foil may sometimes be used to thicken the 2025 enough to connect with a sensitive holder. This depends on the design. Christian. |
