Folks,

I have heard it uses an unusual battery. What can I do when the battery dies? How do I go about replacing it?

It's obnoxious, but not something you do frequently.

Probably depends on usage, BUT those batteries generally last a LONG time months sometimes years. I think if you bought 1 10 pack it would likely last you the life of your device.

On paper maybe. I have bought some cr2032 from Amazon in bulk from third party. Some didn't last very long. I bought some locally and they lasted much longer.

Mine lasted a few months of semi-regular use. Real pain to change....the cover is on there good.

So far my controller is OK, but the ones on the Xbox controller are like half way.

Both are pretty easy to change

Most pound shops carry cr2032 batteries, you get a pack of assorted batteries usually 3 different types 2 of each for a pound with 2032's being among them
