Cr1/3n battery

It seems that cr1/3n battery is similar to two lr44 battery. In voltage and dimensions. Would using it solve some problems of dropouts due to vibrations??

I have had good luck with the CR-1 batteries so far. No issues. The LR44 batteries gave me a low battery warning after 845 miles. The CR-1 Batteries lasted 2,412 miles before low battery warning. I replaced them all after "low battery" warning. Did not test them to see how long they would last after the low battery warning.

Try a little mineral oil on the batteries. It provides enough lubrications to stop the dropouts due to vibration. It fixed my problem with dropouts completely. I us LR44s but going to try CR1/3Ns due to others here saying that last so much longer. LR44s last about 3 months. I ride 3 times a week about 3 hrs at a time.

CR1 batteries are now recommended by Garmin as better option compared to LR44 for the new Rally model (which is identical to Vector 3)

They've also updated the Vector 3 recommendation. support.garmin.com/.../
