    Default FOBO

    I installed the FOBO system in about July of last year. It worked great all last year and when i parked it for the winter and the batteries were full, now none of them will sync. I have unpaired them and tried to pair them again to no avail. I see in the book it says that the batteries can last up to 2 years. Before I change all of the batteries and try again, can any of you tell me what your experiences have been on how long the batteries last?

    Thanks

    Change the batteries there should be spares that came with the box. I got about 6 months out of my batteries.

    I have Fobo on my wife's bike and mine. I had to replace the batteries on her bike after 7 months and my bike after 11 months. Fobo should tell you the battery life. I think on you app.
    Recommend change the battery.

    I thought it was probably the batteries, but the 2 years FOBO says threw me for a loop. I will replace the batteries.

    Default FOBO and batteries - Maybe NOT

    I had similar issues with my FOBO, putting in what I thought were new batteries and after a short period to time they showed almost noting on screen.
    I installed brand new batteries with no change. I thought something was not correct.
    Then I went through the menu on the FOBO app and decided to try "CLEAR MEMORY". It might be unrelated but the battery level now was full green. Tried older batteries and did the clear memory again and while not full (I had used them for several months) they did register almost full.
    Might not be just a coincidence but it is worth a try.
