In any case, but a good quality CR2302 cell in (Energizer, Panasonic, Toshiba, etc.) and leave the cheap Chinese cells for other less demanding devices and you'll be OK.

I put an energizer in it when I got home and that solved the problem. As I mentioned, the one I used earlier was from a VERY suspect batch that I vowed never to use again because they would go dead so quickly in just about any device. I'm showing a reading above 3v now on the status bar. I didn't check this one with a meter though...
