Required Materials
Before we get started, make sure you have the following materials:
- Two CR2016 batteries
- Flathead screwdriver
You can purchase the CR2016 batteries online. I’ve included a link to buy them on Amazon for just a couple of bucks.
Opening the Key Fob
The first step is to open the key fob. Look for a small slot on the side of the key fob. This is where you will insert the flathead screwdriver.
Insert the screwdriver into the slot and turn it like a key. This will start to separate the two halves of the key fob. If you’re having trouble, you can work your way down through that opening, twisting until it becomes easier to open. Once the key fob is partially open, you can use your fingers to pull it apart.
Removing the Old Batteries
Inside the key fob, you will see two CR2016 batteries stacked on top of each other. These can be a bit tricky to remove. You can use the flathead screwdriver or your fingernails to lift the batteries out.
Start by getting under one of the batteries and lifting it up until it comes free. The second battery sits a bit deeper, so you might need to push on one side to lift the edge. Then, use your tool or fingernail to lift it out.
Inserting the New Batteries
Now that the old batteries are out, it’s time to insert the new ones. Make sure the positive side of the battery faces up. Place the first battery in the slot with the positive side up. Then, place the second battery on top of the first one, also with the positive side up.
The batteries should click into place easily.
Reassembling the Key Fob
Once the new batteries are in place, you can reassemble the key fob. Align the two halves and click them back together. Make sure they are securely fastened.
