Hey guys
I currently have Harmony One remote, which is being used for all IR items in my apartment currently (saves me from walking and pick up remotes from everywhere). It is an excellent remote, though since last week, I was without my remote.

I have just sent my remote in back to the Logitech distributor MCL for warranty claim, as the battery for my Harmony One no longer holds the charge. My remote runs flat after 8 hours of use (non-continuous). I tried to remove the battery to check, but unable to. The battery was so bloated inside the remote's battery compartment, that the battery got stuck in it.

My question is, after the warranty period (FYI, the warranty for Harmony remotes are 2 years), how do i get new batteries for the Harmony one? I tried to ask logitech/MCL if I can purchase additional battery but the answer is no. Anyone knows where I can purhase the Logitech harmony batteries?

Thanks!
Nit

Hi
Thanks for the reply, but the item is located in US. Would need somewhere around in KL.
AFAIK, lithium batteries are prohibited items to be shipped via mail.

Hi
Initially I tried to buy the battery from Amazon, and use the Vpost service to get it shipped to KL. However I was advised that lithium batteries are not allowed, the loose ones (i.e. without equipment). Lithium batteries attached together with equipment are allowed though, I don't understand the logic as well.

Any idea if I can get the battery locally? Thanks!
