IBS-P02R Wireless Pool Thermometer

Questions & Answers
1

I am finding battery life has become shorter and shorter, latest timeframe several weeks?

Hello,
May I know exactly how many weeks?
What type of battery are you using? If you use non-rechargeable alkaline batteries, does it also drain quickly?
Is it possible to provide the ambient temperature where the IBS-P02R is placed?
Also, please check if there is any water ingress into the IBS-P02R.

3 weeks! Only using Duracell Alkaline non-rechargeable, in my Hot Tub set 102 degrees, no water ingress that I see?

I’m also having this issue with an IBS-P01B. The first set of AAA batteries I used were alkaline batteries and these lasted 2 months. The next set of alkaline batteries lasted 2 days and now I used a fully charged set of NiMH batteries and these lasted 2 days as well.

I can’t see any water ingress and the pool temperature is 27-30C.

Hello,
Please check if the batteries are non-rechargeable. Please understand that some rechargeable batteries have lower voltage, which may not meet the requirements of the IBS-P02R.
Please check if there is any water inside the IBS-P02R.
If everything seems fine, please provide your order information and a description of the problem to support@inkbird.com for after-sales service.
Thanks.

This is the reply I received on my problem. No solution…

Thanks for your contact and sorry for any inconvenience.

As you mentioned, IBS-P02R-O(The transmitter) will be out of the Batteries soon.

In order to provide better customer service, would you please describe the problems in detail that you met while using our products?

Please try to use brand batteries to the transmitter and test the room temperature.

  1. Is the IBS-P02R-O always stuck in the oil skimmer?

2 What is the ambient temperature where the transmitter is placed? Is water corrosive?

  1. Have you tried using non-rechargeable alkaline batteries?

4.Could I know will the IBS-P02R-I(The receiver) will happen in the same situation?

Solved, noticed rust/bridging between contacts, inside, near top of battery compartment, top contacts - there is an insufficient plastic separator, need to remove any rust/bridging between contacts- battery life changed for the much better
