Ikey light keep flashing..

[jovially]

Just changed my battery today. I discover that there are different battery brand out there and it is better to get back Sony (same with the original one). Before that I bought a "camelion" battery, after changing, green I key keep flashing.

Yesterday went to TC, they check the battery voltage but found nothing wrong with its voltage but Green I key keep flashing. Changing to their battery then no problem. $10.70 for a tiny battery from TC is too ex. So decidede to get it from ABC shop and it cost only $2.

a bit confuse. so if i-key (green) keep flashing before starting the engine - normal?
if i-Key (green) keep flashing after start the engine - battery weak?
If i-key (red) keep flashing - cannot detect i-key

Hi,

Sometimes I do have that problem but the reason is because I place my ikey in the same pocket as my mobile phone. I think the signal from the mobile phone causes interference with the signal sent my our ikey. I make it a point to put the ikey in the pocket not containing my mobile phone and the problem was solved.

Hope this helps.

voltage will be lower than 2.9V with load.
