Welcome to FobBattery.com! We provide dozens of original videos, photos, and content on how to change car fob batteries! It’s not the most exciting of topics I know, but it’s been a labor of love to put together these guides. There are hundreds of different types of key fobs in existence, and we are working our way through all the major car brands to give you in-depth tutorials for all of them. Most key batteries are “CR” coin or key batteries – such as the CR 2450 key fob battery. My other major project is Hachi – a website to find the lowest price on dog food and other pet supplies.

Below is our current list of brands we have built out a database of batteries and fobs for, along with tutorials on how to fix or replace / change them on some of the most popular cars in the world. We also have a guide to changing the battery in the Tile Mate and Tile Pro devices.
