Low Battery on Station 3 X (Davis VP2)

[Keith (Southend)]

I have the ISS in the garden + a transmitter for a 2nd thermometer I use for grass temperature and the transmitter for the anemometer. I've checked the two batteries in the first two and they seem strong, so short of having to go on the roof to check the 3rd one I was wondering whether it was the batteries in the console itself, although this is plugged into the mains?

Any thoughts before the ladders come out?

Reads like it's one of your transmitters, not the console.

Thanks Freddy, I changed the other two, but still got the message so it must be the one for anemometer. I'd left them as sometime it can take time to settle.

Just changed the battery and that was was actually nearly dead :-)

Then I wondered why it wasn't clearing the message on the console and did a search:

"The Davis Vantage Pro2 (VP2) console typically clears a low battery warning by midnight of the next day, though it can occasionally take up to 2 to 3 days for the notification to completely disappear from the screen. This delay is normal because the system does not instantly reset the flag upon voltage detection."

Cleared overnight :-)
