Changing the Battery Age/Disabling the Battery Life
Monitor
Your controller monitors the life of your battery and creates an
event when the battery nears the end of its life. Controller batteries
typically last about three years. The event reminding you to replace
the battery occurs after approximately 35 months of use. The event
appears each time you reboot the controller until you replace the
battery and reset the battery age.
When you replace the battery, you must reset the battery age for
the battery life monitor to work properly.
You can also set the battery age. You might want to use this option
if you install a battery from another controller and want to reset the
battery reminder to display at the right time.
An option to disable the battery life monitor is also available.
Caution: We do not recommend disabling the battery life
