My IBS-TH3 sensor has been burning thru batteries. The batteries have been brand new but I have to replace them every 9 days
I am having the exact same problem. I thought my batteries must have been a bad batch, purchased a few new ones, same problem.
What type of batteries are using, I find only the best works the longest. The ‘bulk’ purchase ones have no life.
Hello,
May I know what is the ambient temperature of the IBS-TH3?
Does it also drain quickly if using alkaline batteries?
Duracell Optimum brand new
I use Duracell Optimum and they died in 9 days. I returned this to Amazon
Same problem- 1st year long lasting batteries and 2nd year - less than two weeks. Fix: open it up and look at the separation of the two metal contacts near the lid/top (diff poles of battery connections) and notice there is a plastic separator- it’s not big enough and I had some corrosion/bridging between the two contacts, likely cause of the current drain. So far, seems better, no change yet on battery strength.
Hi
Did your fix end up working for your sensors - decent battery life now?
I have the same problem with about half my sensors…?
Also I’m not sure which part you cleaned that your saying might might causing the drain…by any chance to you have a picture.
My sensors are brand new…i doubt there is any corosion but I’m willing to check for sure.
Thank you!
