Car Remote - battery change

[PCM]

I bought some new key fob batteries via eBay recently.

I was quite surprised when I soon began 'getting' low Battery messages.

So... I 'bit the bullet' and bought some new ones again, from my local supermarket.

It was interesting to compare them.

I suspect the former were... 'un-genuine'?

I bought a couple of these from amazon ( this time of year batteries start to fail don't they? ) They were £3.50 for two duracell - genuine ones. I saw them in Tesco for £5 and Asda for a similar amount. Then I saw Kodak batteries CR2032 in poundsaver for £2 for a pair.  Kodak is a good name but I wonder how good are their batteries?  At about £1 each they seem good value for money.  BTW amazon sell them too but in larger packs.  It sounds trivial when Costa and the like are flogging a cup of coffee in one of their dingy caffs for £3.50+ Now that's a ripoff if ever I saw one.
