Thread: Warn winch remote battery charging

Hi Team

this is an odd question for the LandRover Defender section. My 130 has a Warn winch in the front about 9500 lbs from memory.

It comes with the standard hand grip remote control. I can’t recall ever charging it in 12 years and the remote does not work plugged in through the cable, only remotely… ( Bluetooth?)

While it still worked last year I am worried the batteries are going to fail when I need the winch. So I want to recharge or replace batteries.

I have been to a couple of places and nobody seems to know how to replace the batteries. I have it on good authority that I need to replace the whole handset with a new one.

Is this true? If so will the new one operate my old winch both through cable connection and remotely ( Bluetooth?), or will need to be configured to
my winch?

Any advice appreciated

Alan

Pretty sure you have two options
- AAA Batteries or
- It recharges when plugged in

I have attached a page from the somewhat ambigious manual
