I did it!!! I even had the right battery on hand because it’s the same one I use in my violin tuner. Thank you so much for this video! It’s the weekend here and the rental car place isn’t open, and the battery was dying in the remote fob. With your help, I was able to take care of the problemquickly and easily. I’m so grateful.❤
I’ve been getting a notification to change my battery on both remotes for months now and finally did it today. This was so quick and helpful, thank you!!
Orientation of the battery is indeed important, I got that wrong the first time I tried to replace the battery. It happily snaps in the upper piece, even if in the wrong orientation. Thanks for publishing this!
Thank you for the easy to follow instructions. For the last 4 months, my remote has not worked, I've had to put it in the center console to start the vehicle and couldn't lock or unlock my car with it. I replaced the battery, and it still didn't work, then I watched your video, this entire time, I had put the battery in the opposite direction. Once it was in right, I clicked the locked button and it works perfectly fine. A little embarrassed to admit I had a blonde moment (well, 4 months of blonde moments) lol Thank you again.😅
Thank you for the video. Is there a way to find out the battery % power remaining? Like maybe in the infotainment center or someplace else without having to open up the remote and use a battery tester?
Thank you! New Buick Encore owner and this was a huge help! I don't think I'd have figured out how to pry it open without seeing that it wouldn't snap anything along the way.
This video really helped me, especially the instructions opening the remote using the key. So much better than the instructions in the manual. Thank you
Very helpful and explained perfectly. I've never commented on a video but this was so helpful I had to say thank you for helping me and explaining it so perfect!!
I wish I had watched you before I changed it would have saved me a lot of time. I kept pushing on the key release and trying at the same time to pull it down. Of course that didn't work. Thankfully, I didn't break anything except a few brain cells. 🤣 Yes, I did finally manage to get it apart. 👏
Thank you. Sorry if you answered this in the video, stopped watching after seeing how to open it, but how long do the batteries normally last in these? Have had mine for 2.5 years, and just started getting the message to replace the battery a couple weeks ago.

Thank you for this video. You were very helpful.
Fantastic! Today is my 87th birthday and I changed my own fob battery. My husband is unable to do it so I did. Rather pleased with myself. Thank you.
I am proud of you!! ❤
Happy birthday!
Way to go! ❤
Thank u so much for this video, SO helpful!!
Thanks, there always needs to be one person responsible for making a video like this and you did the job.
Thank you! Mom couldn't open her fob to replace battery and said it was $50 for the dealer to do it!
Thank you so much!! The dealership wanted to charge us $50 for one and both of our batteries need replacing.
The easiest to understand video on something that could be so complex. Thank you!
Excellent! You saved hubby a major meltdown. The manual that came with the car is useless. This video is the best!!!

I shared this with my mom, and she changed the battery easily. Well done!

Thank you. The bit where you showed 😘how far to insert the key was especially help]ful.
Thank you! I was expecting to pay an outrageous amount at the Buick dealership!

Thanks for the easy to follow, short instructions.
Today is 4/13/24. Thank you.
Thank you for the easy to follow video. I changed both myself costing me just a little over $6.
Thank you! Both batteries went at pretty much the same time…which is weird so I thought someone was messing with me. 😂
Grateful for people like you 😊
Thanks, it was easier than I thought. I even had a new CR 2032 battery already on hand.
Thanks for the video! The dealer wanted $50 plus tax!!! Total rip-off artists!!
Thanks so much. I was going to take my fob to the dealership but they would have charged me so much. I did it myself...with many thanks
Thanks! This worked on my first key fob but the internal key is stuck in the my other set of keys. Ive tried everything! Anything I can do?
Thanks! That was an easy to understand demo. I appreciate it.
Thank you for this! I didn't even know that a "real" key was inside the fob!!
Thank you very much, it worked 🥳
Thanks so much! This was super helpful and I had 2 of these batteries already at home that I could use as replacements.
Thank you! I often forget how to open the fob.
Thanks! This is perfect. I followed the instructions and successfully changed the fob battery.
Very helpful and explained perfectly. I've never commented on a video but this was so helpful I had to say thank you for helping me and explaining it so perfect!!
This was so helpful. I was able to put the battery in both of my key fobs
Thanks for your help, my mom was in panic. I did it just like you said.
Glad it helped
