I'm quite familiar with changing the battery for a Buick Excelle key fob—I've done it several times myself. There's a small gap on the back cover of the key fob, so you'll need a small screwdriver or a coin to gently pry it open. Don't use too much force, or you might break the plastic clips. Once opened, you'll see the old coin battery, most likely a CR2032. Carefully remove it to avoid losing it. When inserting the new battery, make sure the positive side faces up (the side with the text should be up); otherwise, the remote won't work properly. Press the cover back firmly and test the unlock and lock functions. I've noticed the battery lasts about two years, especially in winter when the charge drops faster. It's handy to keep a few spare batteries at home. Once, I put the battery in backward and wasted time troubleshooting why it wasn't working—lesson learned: always check the orientation before installing. The whole process takes about ten minutes—saves money and hassle.
