Key Fob Battery Life - Do Any of Them Actually Last?

**The Quest for the Best Key Fob Battery: A Frustrated Rider's Journey**

Hey there, fellow riders! My name is Scott, and I've been tearing up the roads on two wheels since I was 11. That's 38 years of wind in my hair and countless memories on my beloved motorcycles. Today, I want to share a different kind of journey with you—a journey through the world of key fob batteries. Spoiler alert: the Energizer 2032 lithium battery is the hero of this story.

Like many of you, I rely on my key fob to start my bike and unlock my saddlebags. There's nothing more frustrating than gearing up for a ride, only to find that your key fob is dead. Unfortunately, I've had this happen more times than I can count. It was time to put an end to the constant battery swapping and find the best one out there.

So, I decided to conduct my own little experiment. I tested six different brands of key fob batteries, hoping to find one that could keep up with my riding lifestyle. Here's a rundown of what I tried:

1. **Duracell 2032**
2. **Panasonic 2032**
3. **Sony 2032**
4. **Maxell 2032**
5. **Renata 2032**
6. **AmazonBasics 2032**

Each of these batteries promised great performance, but in practice, they fell short. Some lasted a few weeks, others a couple of months, but none of them impressed me. It seemed like I was always reaching for a spare battery, which was a hassle I didn't need.

Finally, I decided to give the Energizer 2032 lithium battery a shot. I was skeptical—how much better could it really be? But boy, was I in for a surprise. Right from the start, the Energizer 2032 outperformed the others. Not only did it last longer, but it also maintained a consistent power output throughout its lifespan.



While the other batteries seemed to fizzle out slowly, the Energizer kept going strong. I was able to ride for months without even thinking about changing the battery. This was a game-changer for me, and it saved me a lot of frustration.

To make sure my experience wasn't a fluke, I conducted a more structured test. I installed each battery in my key fob and monitored their performance over time. Here are the results:

- **Duracell 2032**: Lasted 2 months
- **Panasonic 2032**: Lasted 2 months
- **Sony 2032**: Lasted 1.5 months
- **Maxell 2032**: Lasted 1 months
- **Renata 2032**: Lasted 1 months
- **AmazonBasics 2032**: Lasted 3 weeks
- **Energizer 2032 Lithium**: Lasted 6 months

The Energizer 2032 didn't just last longer; it lasted significantly longer. Six months of reliable performance without having to worry about my key fob dying was a huge relief.

In conclusion, if you're tired of constantly swapping out key fob batteries, I highly recommend giving the Energizer 2032 lithium battery a try. It's made my life a lot easier, and I'm sure it'll do the same for you. Ride safe and keep those key fobs powered up!

Happy riding,

Scott
