- Plastic, Metal
- Imported
- IN THE BOX: 4-pack of CR2032 3 volt lithium coin cell batteries; replacement for BR2032, DL2032, and ECR2032
Tools and Supplies Needed
Before beginning, gather the necessary tools and supplies:
- Flathead screwdriver
- CR2032 coin battery
Once you have these items, you’re ready to start the replacement process.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Locate the Indentation
First, look at the bottom left of the key fob. You will see a small slot or indentation. This is where you will insert the flathead screwdriver.
Step 2: Insert and Twist the Screwdriver
Hold the key fob firmly and insert the flathead screwdriver into the slot. Twist the screwdriver as if you are turning a key. This action will start to separate the two halves of the key fob.
Step 3: Separate the Key Fob Halves
Once the halves begin to separate, continue to twist and move the screwdriver around the edge of the key fob. This will help to fully open the key fob. You can now use your fingers to pull the two halves apart.
Step 4: Remove the Rubber Part
Carefully remove the rubber part that covers the battery. Set it aside, as you will need to replace it later.
Step 5: Remove the Old Battery
With the rubber part removed, you now have access to the battery. Use the flathead screwdriver or your fingernail to gently lift the battery out of its compartment.
The battery should pop out easily.
Step 6: Insert the New Battery
Take the new CR2032 battery and make sure the positive side is facing down. Place the battery into the compartment and press it down until it clicks into place.
Step 7: Reassemble the Key Fob
Place the rubber part back over the battery. Then, align the two halves of the key fob and press them together until they click. Make sure the key fob is securely closed.
