What battery is in the blippers

[touching cloth]

Or rather batteries as I know there are 2. Just misplaced my main blipper (hopefully temporarily) and my other one is batteryless so need to get a new set of batteries for it rather urgently as need the car later. However I don't know what type I need, been to a shop who sold me one set they thought looked right but weren't. Anyone know the code or whatever of the top of their head, or have their fob to hand and don't mind popping it open for me.

Cheers, a hopeful TC.

They're 3 volts and 2mm high by 12mm wide.

Could also be used in Calculators, watches etc, so don't rule out Staples

Bugger, shop within walking distance has lots of others but not that. Looks like I am about to give people the good people of Maidenhead a sight they won't see everyday, an 18 stone man riding his wifes bike

Jesus......That don't sound pretty

I'm off for a pint

Feck me I'm unfit, had to get off the bike for a breather on the way back (pretended to make a nonchalant phone call so I didn't look like an out of breath fat bastard who couldn't go any further, although think the wheezing might have betrayed me) ... anyway after all that the bastard shop taunted me by having only one in stock and not the required two...

Have called in the cavalry, mother in law picking up children for me, then picking me up and taking me, (by car) to Halfrauds.

Just wanted to keep you all up to speed on this, I am sure it makes fanscinating reading lol

Can everyone keep an eye out at your local Maplins branch......Expect to see the sight of a man stumbling from the back of an Ambulance any time soon

ETA

I'm off to see if there's any pictures on the "Peddleheads" "spotted" forum

If you don't have any luck send us an e-mail with your address I've got two brand new ones sat here I could drop them off sometime tomorrow.

That's hugely kind of you, have however sourced batteries now from Maplins... not that they appear to make the blipper work of course, oh no that would have been just too easy wouldn't it

I really feckin hope my other blipper is where I think it is, or else I'm in a bit of schtook here.
