Battery / Cell replacement on a Luminox Series 3000/3900.

[@shanechristnagel6760]

Why did you switch batteries off screen? I replaced mine with a 395 and it’s still not workin. I don’t have the old battery, think it could be a 3v lithium?

That's weird looks like the battery was changed on screen. In any case, sometimes, the contact on the bottom of the battery gets bent when installing the new battery check and make sure that is not what happened to you. Also there are also times when the watch becomes magnetized and may need to be demagnetized. Make sure the coil is not damaged and if all of the above checks out then you may need to replace the movement.

I replaced battery - Luminox blackout version with a 395. Did exactly like the video but watch won't work. After the battery is in position, you did something with a screwdriver for 5 to 10 seconds but it was completely blocked from view by your hands. i suspect that is the part I needed to see. Can you please explain what you were doing then? Under the battery, there is a copper colored "tab" sticking out. Mine is bent up toward back of watch. That should remain under the battery (negative side), correct? Is it supposed to stick straight out flat? If so, that may be my problem. Thanks.

The "tab" on the bottom (negative side) is supposed to stick out and slightly bent up. the part that you can not see in the video is a tab that is screwed into the movement and is touching the positive side of the battery. You need to loosen the screw and move the tab out of the way. If your watch is still not working, you may need to take it into a shop that does watch repair as there might be other issues with the watch / movement.

What is the correct battery to use?

[@watchremedy]

I used a Renata 395 cell in this watch

[@gicyu812]

You showed a 395 and then you pulled it out and put something else in. Was that another 395? Why would you do that and not specify? What kind of BS is that?

[@watchremedy]

@gicyu812 yes it was 395.
