Replacing Renata Watch Batteries With Simple Tools

By Jerry Phillips


Batteries or cells are a great source of energy for watches, phones, torches, flashlights among other stuff. The batteries tend to get exhausted with time and the frequency of use. When you use a flashlight more often, its battery is likely to run out fast and become useless. Timepiece batteries last for long especially after buying a quality timepiece. When they start running out, you will be able to tell because the timepiece will give you simple signs such as minimal movement of the second hand. You do not have to feel a pinch if your Renata watch batteries just so happens to die. Replacement is often the best choice and with the following tips, you will get your watch running back just like other new watches.

Mercury- The mercury watch battery is actually banned in many places, so if you can find one, consider yourself both lucky and unlucky. Mercury is very, very dangerous, and if it's not disposed of properly, can have serious impacts on the environment.

But of course, nothing always goes according to plan and no matter how technologically superior the timepiece is there will always be a time when the battery will be at fault. Now, there are several reasons why this can happen and most of the time, it is due to faulty engineering of the battery itself.

Old and used batteries sometimes find their way into the new timepieces and because of their flawed design, they have leaks and power drains faster than normal. Or it could be a result to over exposure to the elements, which include the rain, the sun, and even exposure to chemicals and radiation from other sources. You could short out the battery in your timepiece pretty easily and you need to be careful.

Unscrewing the back- Once the two parts of the bracelets are disassembled, you can unscrew the back of the timepiece using the pair of scissor. This is done by placing the pair of scissor at the edge of the back covering and pushing hard on it. As you push hard, it is essential to turn the pair of scissor counter clock wise to unscrew the back without causing any damages.

Silver Oxide- The silver oxide battery is made in the same way that the mercury battery is, but it's much less dangerous than the mercury chemical. In fact, these batteries pose little to no health or environmental risk. The silver oxide battery lasts about a year to a year and six months. They certainly don't last as long as mercury batteries do, but they're easy to dispose of, and you can find them at most drug stores or electronic stores.

This is an easy process when it comes down to it, but you must realize that certain timepieces cannot be operated on at home and must be taken to a jeweler for battery replacement. Waterproof timepieces are vacuum-sealed and any tampering with them may destroy the waterproofing.

Ensure that you know the size of the timepiece cells for your specific timepiece before purchasing it for replacement. If you feel that you are not sure how to install the battery, then please do take it to a timepiece specialist or repairer to do it for you. When you tire of always replacing the battery for your timepiece cells, then you can always try the options technology has to offer.
