If you’re wondering why we don’t offer battery replacementsfor Citizen Eco-Drive watches, it may shock you to realise that your Eco-Drivedoesn’t have a battery in it at all.
The way a Citizen Eco-Drive works is that it runs off lightas its power source, not a standard silver oxide battery. The technology insidea Citizen Eco-Drive can generate power from any light source whether it isnatural or artificial and also from dim light sources.
Citizen Watch Gn 4 S Battery
This all sounds great and has even won some awards forCitizen in Japan as their Eco-Drive technology has won acclaim for itsenvironmental protection. Citizen even claim that their Eco-Drive watches donot require battery replacements which sounds like the perfect answer to theproblems of regular quartz watches that only last up to 5 years beforerequiring a repair. This is all true butyou may be wondering why your watch has stopped even though it’s been exposedto light and has been charged to maximum.
What may have not been mentioned is that the light, whethernatural or artificial still needs to be converted into power to run the watch.This is where the capacitor comes into it and where your repair starts.
