low battery

[nicky]

Just wondered if anyone has come across this before.I just purchased my 197 sport,now and then the car beeps and the low battery light comes on and the red stop light,the guy who i bought it off said he thought it needed a new alternator but after speaking to someone at renault he was told it was the keycard and something to do with the signal,any ideas what it could be ?anic:

Renault told me that there is a rechargable battery in the key card as well as the replacable one.
They said you should put the card in the slot e every now and then for some trips to recharge it.

thankyou,i did replace the battery today but if theres a rechargable one as well thats prob it as the guy who i bought it off said he didnt bother using the slot he just kept the card in his pocket !

Theres no pysical electrical connections on the keycard though? So how is it supposed to charge the battery? Also it only mentions having a button cell?

Do you have Bluetooth? Mine does that when the phone is low on juice.

The same way that an electric toothbrush recharges I would imagine

just start putting your card in the slot, alot of people on here have had the same problems, after putting the card in the slot a few times, no problems since, i fink the rechargable one is for the signal in the card and the replaceable one for the buttons. when the rechargable one is propper dead your car will struggle to start.
