Tools and Materials Needed
Before we begin, ensure you have the following items:
- CR1620 Coin Battery
- Flathead Screwdriver
- Precision Screwdriver
If you don’t have these items, you can easily purchase them online.
Step 1: Open the Key Fob
First, flip the key fob over. Locate the little slot near the key ring.
Insert your flathead screwdriver into this slot and twist it gently. This action will remove the back section of the plastic cover. Set the cover aside.
Step 2: Access the Battery
Underneath the plastic cover, you will find the battery compartment.
Contrary to what it might look like, you don’t need to twist the battery out. Instead, you need to pry it out.
Use the flathead screwdriver to catch the edge of the battery and apply pressure to pry it out. It may take a bit of effort, but it will come out.
Step 3: Remove the Old Battery
To remove the old battery, you will need a precision screwdriver. There is a small hole at the bottom of the battery compartment.
Insert the precision screwdriver into this hole and pry the battery out. A paper clip could work in a pinch, but a precision screwdriver is recommended.
Step 4: Insert the New Battery
Take your new CR1620 battery and ensure the positive side is facing up.
Place the battery into the compartment and press it down until it clicks into place.
Step 5: Reassemble the Key Fob
Once the new battery is secure, place the plastic cover back onto the key fob.
Press down until you hear a click, indicating that the cover is securely in place.
