The Key Lab come with a small battery that is easily accessible. You can replace it by using a standard CR2032 cell. These can be found at many home improvement stores and pharmacies. To begin, pull the chrome cover off of the key fob to reveal the metal key. Use the emergency key to disconnect the body from the fob. Insert a new CR2032. Avoid touching the top or bottom of the battery since this can reduce the battery's lifespan or cause corrosion contacts.

It is crucial to keep in mind that all key fobs must be reprogrammed at the exact time, and any previously programmed keys won't work on your vehicle.
