The battery for my remote key has died. The last time I bought one from a dealer it cost me $17. If I could find it in a supermarket it would cost about $3. I suspect that this is excessive but I am so far unable to find a replacement. I have a 2007 Impreza and the battery is a Panasonic CR 1820 3v.

Any suggestions as to places I could find one cheaper than $17?

Tandys
Bunnings
Chemist
Dick Smith
KMart
Target
Battery World

They're everywhere where you would find Camera Batteries & watch battery places...

Yep most chemist have a good selection due to the number off different medical aids and equipment plus surprise surprise they can be a lot cheaper than even Tandy or DSE

Jaycar is another. Ebay too if you need them in bulk. I used to go through CR2032s every few days in a TENS unit so got them from HK in about four days at 48 cents each including postage in lots of 20. Local prices were $3.50 to 6.00 each depending on how convenient the store was.

Don't you mean CR1620 batteries?

Go back to your dealer and tell them you want a "SAS2002" which is a single CR1620 battery for $3.18 or "SAS2001" is a pack of 5 CR1620's for $15.90.

How true...

Paid $9 late at night at the old Mambrey Creek servo 10 years ago!

Where else was I going to go?

$2!! What a bargain!!

The month you spend waiting for them to arrive makes it pointless its easier to buy them from your local Chemist.

Ive got stuff from them before, and it arrived in about 10 days
