The Honeywell thermostat in the house, which is a battery-powered device, controls the temperature. For battery-powered devices to operate continuously, the battery must be fully charged. If the Honeywell thermostat shows a low battery, the battery needs to be replaced. So let’s see how to change the Honeywell thermostat battery.
Signs Your Honeywell Thermostat Batteries Are Low
Low Battery Message
When the battery starts to run low, a LOW BAT and a blinking icon appear on the screen. Honeywell thermostats display a battery change alert 30 to 60 days before the battery is drained.
Blank Screen
When the screen goes dark or blank, understand that the battery has been completely drained. The thermostat will stop showing temperature readings and other system information, and will not show until the battery is replaced.
Unresponsive Controls
The buttons and screen, etc., will not work. When you press a button, it may take a very long time to respond, or it may not respond at all, because the battery will not have enough power to function properly.
How to replace the Battery of your Honeywell thermostat: A step-by-step information
Identify the correct battery type.
Before replacing the battery, you should know which battery the thermostat requires. My thermostat requires AA and AA alkaline batteries.
Remove the Thermostats from the wall.
Turn off the thermostat to prevent any accidental changes in temperature. Grasp the Honeywell thermostat with both hands and pull it out slowly. Twisting or jerking it can damage the wires or other parts.
Replace the old Batteries.
After removing the old batteries, we will install new batteries, taking care of a few things. Before installing the battery, keep the plus and minus signs on the battery compartment in mind. Insert the battery with the plus and minus ends facing the correct way. After inserting the batteries, press them in slightly so they fit properly.
Reattach the Battery and Test
Now plug the thermostat into the wall and wait for a few seconds. After waiting, check the thermostat to see if the display is showing. Set the heating and cooling systems to the desired temperatures and check that the proper functions are working as set.
Final Thoughts
Replacing the Honeywell thermostat battery will turn the heating and cooling system back on in the house. After the battery is recharged, the house will remain comfortable throughout the year. The battery should be checked every six to eight months to ensure there are no problems. According to the information given above, you can change the Honeywell battery.
