Pentax 645D

I bought a Pentax 39892 O-RC1 Waterproof Remote Control,

worked well enough but the battery is flat, went to renew, but found I cant renew.
The battery is soldered on to the thing.
Is there an alternative to the "Pentax 39892 O-RC1 Waterproof Remote Control"?.

I don't want to spend £27 everytime the Panas CR2032 3v battery runs out.

Thanx
Have a Great summer.
Regards
Gary

Is it? When I last swapped out the depleted battery it wasn't soldered. Getting the rubber grommet back in place was a problem, but I decided, as I'd get a remote for very little, it was no real issue.

You can also use the remote control F, which works with all Pentax models.

Hi Barry, it wasn't solder, it was like a metal glue..
