VZ remote battery

[HQ355]

Hi guys does anyone know where to get a new battery for a VZ key remote ? I can only find ones without the tab pre soldered on or alternately are they hard to program if I get a new key head ? I've changed the battery in the 2nd hey about 12 months ago and can't remember where I got it from, I don't realy want to go to holden dealer and get reamed for $150 !

Yeah mate tried there, they have the battery but it dosnt have the tabs soldered on, I'm not realy into soldering battery's as they explode, have since found out battery world may be able to spot weld the tabs on and supply the battery for around $5, il give that a go, cheers for the help

Today's hot tip if you live in melbourne is don't go to rs components as there shut ! Rang them up to see if they'd relocated as I was sitting out the front of there old store only to be told I have to order online only now and it comes out of Sydney, bugger

Bummer. Yeah, there's been quite a contraction in suppliers over the years, due to the contraction in local manufacture.

I found a few more suppliers via the 'net, but they were all in Sydney too.

Your best bet may be this supplier on eBay, also in Sydney, but offers free postage :

Thanks for that link Joe, RS offer free post and next day delivery the only pain is on the odd occasion where you'd go in and had no part number or brand and the staff would help and find what you needed (like our 2yo coffee machine switch that died and couldn't get another anywhere, RS had exact same 1 for $1:80 !) il prob just try battery world on weekend and if not then order over net, I'd like to get it done on weekend to stop mrs nagging and then I can do some things on my HQ like flex table for shift light and reverse lockout on t-56, once again thanks mate
