FYI on the Polar Chest Transmitter Battery.  Obviously, the least desirable batteries are the most ubiquitous.

Polar has found that the Duracell battery seems to drain much faster which causes the malfunction.  The Sony battery holds it’s life much longer.

Thanks for the info: I did not realize the Energizer was a 1.5V battery.  I thought all 2025 batteries were the same as part of a standard.

I see the DuraCell CR2032 and 2025 are 3V batteries, and are more widely available around here than Sony (I've never seen a Sony battery in a display).  Is there something special about the Sony, or it's just that you need a 3V coin battery rather than a 1.5V?

Good Morning Mark,

 

The energizer battery has been found to not have enough strong enough voltage.  Polar only recommends that a sony battery be used.

 

Sincerely,
Jean

Just got my S725X back...Thanks for the prompt shipping!

One question: on the repair notes, I think it says: Energizer in tx--can cause malfunction.  Looking in the manual and searching on-line, I can't see where anything is specified for that transmitter battery other than it's a CR2025 battery.  If the Energizer is unacceptable, what kind of battery is?
