2 Answers
Here is the tutorial for replacing the battery in a Buick Excelle key fob: 1. There is a small button on the key fob. Press it to extend the mechanical part of the key. 2. There is a gap on the side of the key fob. Use your fingernail to pry open the gap on the side of the Buick Excelle key fob shell. 3. The battery model is CR2032. Pay attention to the correct installation direction of the battery, noting the positive and negative poles. The longevity of a car key fob's battery mainly depends on how frequently the owner uses the key fob. Like all battery-operated devices, the more it is used, the faster the battery drains. Generally, a new key fob with a fully charged battery can last for two to three years.
Last time I replaced the battery for my Buick Excelle key fob myself, it was quick and easy. First, hold the key fob in your palm—there’s a small groove in the center of the back cover. Gently twist it open with a coin. Inside, you’ll find a small round battery, usually a CR2032. Pay attention to the positive and negative terminals to avoid installing it backward. Carefully remove the old battery and replace it with a new one, which costs just a few bucks at the supermarket. When reattaching the back cover, a light press will secure it. The whole process takes no more than two minutes, saving the hassle of waiting in line at the dealership. After replacing the battery, the buttons responded instantly. Remember not to use metal tools to avoid short-circuiting and damaging the electronics—this habit has helped me avoid risks and comes in handy when checking other car electronics too.
