I've been driving a 2017 Honda CR-V and previously replaced the key fob battery myself when it stopped working. The key uses a CR2032 battery, which is readily available at supermarkets. The steps are straightforward: First, locate the small indentation in the middle of the key's back. Use a small flathead screwdriver or coin to gently pry open the casing, being careful not to apply too much force to avoid damaging the plastic clips. Remove the old battery, noting the orientation with the positive side (usually marked with a + sign) facing up, and insert the new battery in the same position. Snap the casing back together firmly and test the unlock button to see if the light works—that's it. The whole process takes less than ten minutes, using just a household screwdriver, and the battery costs only 5 yuan, making it super cost-effective. It's recommended to check the battery every two years and replace it when the key starts responding sluggishly, rather than waiting until it dies and you can't lock the car.
