How do I replace the battery in my Honda key fob?
Can you tell me how to replace the battery in my Honda key fob by myself? I don’t want to accidentally break it, but I definitely need a new battery. I can’t unlock my doors or anything currently.

- First, you’ll need to figure out the battery type. You can do this by checking the back of the key fob or consulting your owner’s manual.
- Once you’ve purchased the correct battery, use a jeweler’s screwdriver to remove the screw in your remote.
- Carefully pry open the two halves of the remote using a flathead screwdriver.
- Remove the old battery. Be careful not to touch the terminals as you do this—it can damage your future battery life.
- Insert your new battery. Make sure that the negative and positive terminals line up properly!
- Press the two halves back together and test out your new battery by pressing any button on your remote. Then, replace the screw.
While you’re taking the time to install a new battery in your key fob, why not take an extra minute to save on your car insurance? It’s easy when you use the
