About Battery
Please Do Not use a battery more than 1.5V or a high electric current battery, such as a rechargeable battery.
The Best Option is a Carbon, Alkaline Battery or a low electric current battery (less than 500 ma)
Why we should use Carbon, Alkaline Batteries or low electric current batteries on most of home clocks?
Most of clocks only need very low electric current, especially for quartz clock for home. If use a high electric current battery such as
a rechargeable battery, it may damage the clock movement, cause inaccurate time, or even burn out the clock movement, affecting the service life.
Buyer Questions & Answers
Question: Is the second hand ticking or smooth?
Answer: Smoothly goes and does not tickle-Super! without noise!
Question: Is there a Battery cover with this?
Answer: This is no battery cover. Battery is held in tight via the springiness of the contacts. Additionally, when the clock is hung, the back of the quartz clock movement mechanism will be against the wall.
Question: Does the quartz movement snap in?
Answer: Not exactly. Your clock will have a small hole that the movement shaft will fit into. It then screws to a bolt provided with the kit. Make sure that you order a wall clock movement with a shaft that will be long enough for your clock for home.
Question: Can this wall clock mechanism kit be made to run backwards (counterclockwise)?
Answer: Hello, it can not run backwards (counterclockwise). Thanks.

Answer: The shaft is the piece that goes through the clock and to which the hands attach. Measure the existing shaft and compare.
Question: Will this work for a radio controlled clock?
Answer: I would think not. This is a simple, battery-operated silent clock mechanism silent for clock like most clocks today. We have a large, decorative wall clock that cost $150+ and were dismayed when it stopped working. This was a cheap, effective fix and, so far, so good 🙂
Question: Can the unit be installed without the metal hanging hook?
Answer: Yes it can be used with or without.
