Any update on how to change a battery? Is it possible? According to the information it’s just a standard button cell in there, I think a CR2032 but I can’t remember exactly. I’ve had mine for about two weeks and the battery life has already dropped almost 20%. At that rate I don’t know how it will last a year. I changed it from checking every minute to every 5 minutes, and that seems to have extended the battery life a little. If I have to change it to only check every 10 minutes that’ll be a bummer. So far just have it logging my kegerator, but I plan to use this to monitor fermentations too.
Hey Chris, haven’t had a chance to dig into this yet, but I just sent an email to my contact at the manufacturer. I’ll let you know what the answer is in these comments.
Hey Chris! Update, yes you can change the battery, see… https://www.homebrewfinds.com/battery-replacement-guide-for-engbird-ibs-th1-logging-temperature-sensor-monitor-kegerator-fermentation-temps/
Im excited, just bought 2. I figure ill throw em on my conicals along with the temp probes to really see how the beer ferments over the course of the cycle (depending on the beer) to see if my 1 degree setting is keeping up or if I need to make changes and my ranges are skewing too far apart. Thanks for the heads up Chris!
I just started using mine too, iOS app, and I am also impressed, at least for the last few days. I know this is very early, since this is relatively new, but have you found any way to change out the battery? There is no reference to that in the documentation, it only states the battery should last “1 year”, and the “puck” seems pretty well sealed. Does that make it disposable? Or worst case, I wait until it goes dead 1 year from now, and then operate on it???
Hey Pete! I haven’t tackled that yet. I see where the back can be opened, but I haven’t taken a look to see what kind of battery is in this. I aim to do that though. Full disclosure – the directions indicate this should be done only by a professional.
Thanks. Yes, I read that “professional” too. (Maybe it’s nuclear powered???) The back on mine didn’t have any markings. There is a thin seam around the edge, but it didn’t look like there were any “notches” where you might start disassembly. Again, no rush now, but for how handy it is and how well it has worked so far, I’d sure like to know I can renew it. Please, in the meantime if you do figure it out, I’d love to know how it went!
Hey Pete! Good news on the battery – https://www.homebrewfinds.com/battery-replacement-guide-for-engbird-ibs-th1-logging-temperature-sensor-monitor-kegerator-fermentation-temps/
