Card Access Contact Sensor not showing battery level

Hi All, 

Just replaced a dead battery (I think it was dead since the door was left open), but when checking levels the battery and temp don't show up. I believe its working because the door status will change.

Anyone ever see this? After 10 solid years did my Sensor finally blow up?

thanks.

PS Zigbee status also shows ONLINE

Well, temp IS showing up, at least internally. Unless you have an external thermistor installed on it?

Battery saying no battery, could be due to strange battery reading (ie rechargeable battery with a lower voltage output, lithium-ion batter with a higher one) - I'd try a plain old duracell/energizer alkaline if you're not using those already to see if it makes a difference.

unfortunately it's not anywhere near 53.5 degrees in my garage in VA.... 

And this is with brand new, non chargeable Duracells.    :(
