Gas Meter Battery – FAQ
How often do gas meter batteries last?
Tadiran Gas meter batteries generally last from 10 to 20 years and more. The specific lifespan depends on the type of battery and the meter’s energy consumption. Advances in battery technology, such as the development of high-capacity lithium batteries with ultra-low self-discharge, have extended the operational life of these batteries. For accurate information, check with your gas utility provider regarding the specific battery used in your meter.
How can I tell if my gas meter battery is running low?
Most modern smart gas meters are powered by internal non-rechargeable batteries, typically designed to last around 10 to 15 years. These batteries are built into the meters and are not user-replaceable. When the battery nears the end of its life, the meter sends a low battery warning to the utility provider, who then schedules a replacement of the entire meter, rather than just the battery.
