My Performaire Altronics weather station said "Low Battery" the other day. Put it on charger and it immediately said "100% Charged". I left it on over night and tried to run it today. Nothing. No screen nothing. So I called Altronics and they said to send it in $95 to check it out plus $50 for battery or $65 to replace circuit board.
So with shipping $175 or so to change battery? That just seems awfully steep to me.

Can I change it? Does anyone know what battery it uses? Any reason I could not change it?

-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

WOW...they did mine 3 years old $85 plus the ride...they told me to keep a charge in the unit

This will help the life of the battery, but not to over charge...LOL

I would think $85 is fair a company has to make money but $95 to look at it plus $50 for a battery and or the charging circuit $65 I think is steep. And yes I am Cheap. Lol.

They will most likely put the latest update in it too,sometimes it seems like alot to
fix but a new one is expensive. And the turn around is very fast.
