Remote fob battery clip
 
Hi everyone, please can anyone tell me if I can get hold of a battery clip for a 1999 v70 3 button remote.
Picture attached - I hope.
All that's wrong with it is the plastic lugs that retain the battery have snapped.
It's the black plastic thing in the Foreground of the picture.
Please some one save me from the cost of a whole new fob.

I can't seem to upload the pictures. How on the hell do I make a photo 390kb when it's 4.9mb?

I can't see any photos.

Hi: ~ no picture but I had two repaired for a ’97 V70 to include the internals & new fobs. You should find some details relating if you do a search- all via a seller on ebay with excellent service.
The fobs without any other work are also listed via ebay at reasonable prices if you shop the listings etc.
Bob.

I'm having trouble uploading them. It says something about a security token??

I have about 20 fobs, not one has a completely intact battery holder, i think you will struggle to replace just the plastic holder.
I measure the space between the pins on the PCB as ~23.5mm
I found only one holder that could vaguely fit the pins:

BH2450T-C

But it's for a much larger diameter battery, possibly the plastic edges could be filed or cut to fit.
I haven't had time to try this yet if anyone has any better solutions i'd love to hear them.

When this happens it is because the photos are too large to upload. They need to be resized - not sure of the max size, but once within limits they will upload. It is the same with photos that upload on their side, they are too high and need to be reduced in height.

Tip:~ if you have “Paint” then open in this new window- save to desktop and you can then click edit & resize—just reduce by 50% until right- or percentage increase if you want to enlarge (save at each change) very quick once you get the hang of it. Bob

As Bob mentions above ^^^ these are available on Ebay. My whole unit broke apart a couple of years back and I found a new fob easy enough on Ebay. Just swap your little circuit board and battery and your away..
