How do I change the battery in my Vantage Pro2?

Changing the battery in your Vantage Pro2 weather station’s sensor suite is a simple process. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. The wireless Vantage Pro2 sensor suite primarily operates using solar power, with a battery back-up that automatically activates when needed.
2. The sensor suite utilizes a 3-volt CR123 lithium backup battery, which typically lasts several years depending on solar charging.
3. When you see a “Low battery on station X” message on the console, it indicates that it’s time to replace the 3-volt lithium battery.
4. Locate the battery compartment inside the transmitter shelter of the Vantage Pro2 sensor suite.
5. To access the battery compartment, open the transmitter cover.
6. Remove the old battery and replace it with a new 3-volt lithium battery.
7. After replacing the battery, please note that the battery error message may not disappear immediately. However, it should reset at midnight.

By following these steps, you can easily change the backup battery in your Vantage Pro2 sensor suite and ensure uninterrupted performance.
