Honeywell Thermostat has always been my favorite for years, not just because of its long 100 years of history but for the range of thermostats it has given in these years. Starting from the Series 1000 to new smart Wi-Fi enabled thermostats, you can find whatever you want in your budget. But due to its vast models, we are often confused with the right procedure to change batteries as the process changes with the models. Show
So, how can I change the Honeywell thermostat battery? Generally, you can change the batteries of the Honeywell thermostat by just pulling out the cover plate or just sliding out the battery compartment. Replace the battery and put it as it was earlier. Now, that you know that changing or replacing the batteries in a Honeywell thermostat is quite easy and even a 10-year-old child can do it but there are few variations in the process with every model out there and therefore, I have come up with the detailed guide on Honeywell thermostat battery replacement same as I posted for Honeywell Thermostat reset for all models. Before moving further, I would like you to make a note of that all Honeywell thermostats don’t run on batteries and if you have a Honeywell thermostat having a LED display then you probably have a thermostat running on batteries.
When should you change the Honeywell Thermostat battery?The battery of a Honeywell thermostat needs to be changed once a year and you will start getting notification for battery replacement 60 days before the battery lasts. Therefore, you get enough time to change the batteries, but is there a catch to this! The Thermostat has a LED screen that starts showing Low Batt or Replace the battery on the screen. This is the first notification that you get which is probably 60 days before your battery goes down. However, another warning is the black screen and after this warning, your thermostat stops working. You might have a thermostat that only uses a battery as an extra backup, and you might not be worried about changing the batteries of the thermostat. But believe me, even your thermostat use battery for the backup process but you still need to replace the battery as this might cause certain changes in the Time and Date settings of the Honeywell thermostat. What battery does Honeywell Thermostat use?Most of the Honeywell Thermostat models need AAA batteries nowadays, but there are thermostats that need AA batteries. So always make sure what batteries you need before starting the process to change the batteries. Another catch is that some of the latest thermostats have a sliding battery compartment while others don’t have that, and you need to open the cover plate to change the batteries. For doing this, you can pull the cover plate from thermostat bottom and gently pull it out from the base plate. You might need to unscrew some screws if needed. Also, make sure to turn off the electricity before you start replacing the batteries so that you might not end off exposing to any living wire.
