Changing Honda Key Fob Battery

author: FutureCar Staff    

Changing the battery in your Honda key fob can be a convenient and cost-effective solution. Typically, the battery in a key fob lasts for about four years, as it only draws power when you press the buttons. However, eventually, the battery will need to be replaced, leaving you with a nonfunctioning fob.

In the past, you may have taken your key fob to a Honda maintenance center or dealership for repairs. While this is an option, it can be inconvenient and expensive. Fortunately, you can replace the battery yourself at home, saving both time and money.

To begin, locate the battery compartment on your Honda key fob. This is usually on the backside of the fob and can be accessed by sliding a small panel or cover. Once you have opened the compartment, carefully remove the old battery.

Next, take note of the battery type and voltage. This information is typically printed on the old battery or can be found in your Honda owner's manual. Purchase a replacement battery that matches these specifications.

Once you have the new battery, insert it into the battery compartment, making sure it is properly aligned. Close the compartment securely, ensuring that the panel or cover is in place.

After replacing the battery, test your key fob to ensure it is functioning correctly. Press the buttons to lock and unlock your car doors, and verify that the fob is working as intended.

By following these simple steps, you can easily change the battery in your Honda key fob at home. This saves you the hassle and expense of visiting a maintenance center or dealership. Remember to dispose of the old battery properly, following any local regulations for battery recycling.
