Wireless wheel all of the sudden stopped working

#1

I’ve had my SC2 sport and SRB GT3 wheel since Jan and I’ve never had any problems with it until this evening. All of the sudden I was unable to get the wheel connected to the base. In TD the wheel will show up for a few seconds but when I try to connect to it, it disappears.

It used to show up with pretty much perfect connection strength (98-100) but now it hovers between 31-60

The only thing I can think of is the wheel battery but it seems like it should last way longer than 10mo.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Start with the battery, there was a bug in TD 2020.4 causing high battery consumption.

Hi @LazyJab I’m considering to buy the Simucube 2 Sport with the SRB GT3 wheel. I am wondering if the battery can be recharged or it has to be replaced. In case it needs to be replaced, I am not finding where to obtain it.
How did you solve your problem?
Thanks

The battery cannot be recharged but it is easily replaced. I just took the battery with me to a local chain called Battery Plus and they had some on hand. They also sell them on Amazon and other online retailers. I can’t remember the exact specs of the battery but they aren’t difficult to find.

Good luck!

@towski3388 Search for “3.6v 14250 battery” and that will lead you to the correct type that’s used in the SRB GT3 rim.
