Peace, Jim That is the battery for the receiver, it could also be the battery in the transmitter.

Good point...and I have no idea what battery is actually inside the transmitter. Considering the size, it's gotta be something like a watch battery or similar. Hmmm...I'll have to pop mine apart and take a look so I can have a spare on hand. "It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment. " - Ansel Adams

You can get a Duracell 21/23 from many photo shops, Energizer and Duracell A23 and 21/23 (respectively) can be found at CVS. Troubleshooting 101 (see also: LightRules,perryge):
