I-Pilot Remote Battery

I just did my pre-season maintenance on my boat ,all I have left is to replace the I-Pilot remote battery.

What brand battery have you found that last the longest with max usage ?

TIA Jeff

I like the energizer lithium but any lithium will be good.

X2 on energizer!

X3 energizer bunny!

Are you guys sure on Energizer Lith’s ?

I cant believe there is a post here where everyone agrees with one another

Yup on lithium! I bought so off brand ones at batteries plus can’t really complain about them but the bunny out ran em

How long do the batteries last in the remote? The ones for my co pilot are going on three maybe 4 years now and thats with a fair amount of use. Would imagine the display window and light on the i pilot remote must use up the batteries a little faster than that.

Like anything it is depending on usage. My terrova would last about 3-4 months. but when I am fishing I basically run the TM all day in current, lots of button pushing. I have heard of guys geting a year+ out of em. I will change batteries when I hit the button and the motor dont respond unless pointed directly at it. I would sure think the guys with bigger glass boats that trail a lot better than a little tin boat would see more time on a battery. and yes the copilot I used to have never seen a new battery so I am not even sure how big the battery in there is but the ipilot has a 3v and the display probably plays a roll in drainage. thers my $.02

Trumar,
I use the lithium as well and I replace mine every spring. So it lasts the full summer and fall.
I have never had a issue of it going bad or dying.
Let me know what you go with.
They are great a better than the foot pedal. Gosh you get spoiled using them don’t-cha.

Always keep a second one in the boat…. even if it is a cheep backup. The first time you need it to keep a trip from going bad, you’ll be happy it was available.
