I have the Domia Lite which uses (IIRC) a CR2032 button-type lithum cell
in its remote. I think that is now a couple of years and counting. I'd
anticipate (in the way we use it) at least four years and maybe much longer.

thanks, that's what I wanted to know ! Presumably there would have
been space to put an AA battery in the design if required, come to
think about it.


Good. I know when I bought mine, I noticed some other makes used a 123A
- which looks like a slightly shrunken AA. I preferred to go with
something that used a cell that we already need for other purposes.

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
