1 × 3V lithium coin cell
Hunter documents CR2032 for current fan remotes — positive side up, usually under a Phillips screw door. If your tray holds AAA or 9V, use that print instead.

New battery but still not working?
A fresh 1 × CR2032 should restore Hunter Fan remote (CR2032) if the battery was the problem. Work through the checks below before replacing the device.
- Check orientation
Confirm the cell is seated correctly: Positive (+) side up
- Check the battery type
This device needs 1 × CR2032 (lithium). Rechargeable cells are not supported for this device. Same size does not always mean the same battery.
- Check known model-specific issues
If the tray holds AAA cells or a 9V snap, this CR2032 page does not apply — use the printed type. Keep coin cells away from children.
- Confirm the battery itself
For most coin cells, fitting a known-good fresh cell of the correct code is simpler than capacity testing.
- Still not responding?
If a correct, fresh battery installed properly does not restore the device, the fault may be elsewhere — the device may need service or replacement.
Replacing the device?
Hunter Fan remote (CR2032) is still sold new. Only consider a replacement if the checks above did not help.
