The wireless Vantage Pro2 Plus weather station’s sensor suite operates using solar power with a battery back-up that automatically kicks on when needed.

The wireless Vantage Pro2 Plus sensor suite uses a 3-volt CR123 lithium backup battery. It should last several years depending on solar charging. If you receive a “Low battery on station X” message on the console, it is time to change the 3-volt Lithium battery. The battery compartment is located inside the transmitter shelter. To replace the battery, open the transmitter cover and replace the battery. (The battery error might not disappear immediately. It should reset at midnight.)

The Vantage Pro2 Plus weather station does not have a reset button. To reset the unit unplug it from the AC power source and remove the batteries. Wait 10-20 seconds, and then power the unit on again.
