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,

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?
