Who makes the best CR3032 battieries? I replace the ones in my VWCC KESSY wireless system through the youtube instructions and I got 2 new bqtteries from New World and they seem really weak. Normally I can pop the boot or unlock the vehicle from a hundred meters or so but the new ones wont do it until you about a meter away. Any suggestions

I normally find Varta or Energizer to be fine

Are you sure 3032 and not 2032 which is a popular model of lithium battery? Dick Smith etc have 2032s. There are good quality and not good quality ones. Seiko, Renata and Maxell are some of the best.

Surely if a battery is to spec it will work whatever? How can it be limiting range of remote?

New batteries are probably a bit old and half flat. Buy them from somewhere that turns them over fast so you know they are fresh

CR3032
The 30 is the diameter and the 32 is 3.2mm thick, so for above the 20 and 30 are totally different.
Check the voltage, should be over 3V or 3.1V. Also background conditions can affect range, say at an airport with plenty of radar interfering etc

I check the 'new' voltage of every battery I buy. Surprising how many are already low. Oh, Bunnings. Varta.
