Can you get the battery at Walmart

[@candacehenry1494]

⁠ i bought a 2 pack at dollar tree 1.25

[@felonyichor9321]

Literally changed my battery while watching this video. Short and simple!!!

[@MsCloudcomputer]

Me too! Lifesaver!

[@moqzo1]

2023 and your video is still doing wonders for those of us not “technically” inclined. Thanks!

[@themazeisntmeantforyou4284]

Technologically not technically

[@marcanthonymayo7840]

Probably the most simplistic video on KZbin that works! Thank you

[@brads8675]

Concise, while also covering in sufficient detail the nuances with this process -- other videos just say, "Then pry it open" and either a) don't make it clear you can use the key (instead of a screwdriver) and b) that you need to put in the key / screwdriver *just* enough to easily pry it open; I was putting it in too far. Very helpful. Thank you.

[@cdboss79]

You did a much better job of explaining how to open the key fob to get at the battery than the first video that came up. Twisting the mechanical key did not work. Your demonstration was superior! Thank you!

[@annemyers2136]

Super helpful I was having trouble getting the back off, but trick on using the key and not putting it in too far was gold. Thanks

[@DeeDeeX73]

Thank you so much! Not only was your video short sweep to the point unlike other KZbin videos, but it was insightful more so than any person I could possibly ask about how to do this and by person I mean men lol thank you!

[@caris5743]

THANK YOU! I'm a DIY-er (Y stands for KZbin!) and this was SO easy. I did this right after my husband told me to go to Auto-Zone, because that's what he did. He said it's really tricky, and much easier to just let them do it. Okay, honey... ;)

[@RachelPulver]

Thank you! This was very helpful!!! Changed the battery in no time at all. Simple easy to follow explanations.

[@nickjimenez4262]

Thank you very much. You saved me $75

[@ryanpahl8299]

Thanks for this. exactly what I needed, made it quick and painless

[@johnbartlett2459]

The battery is 4 years old and never had to change it. Thank You so much for the information so easy when you see how to do it.

[@dubz7306]

You made that so much easier for me. The first time I needed to go back inside The automotive shop to get the battery out for me. Thanks a lot

[@kesheaeb.8481]

Thank you. You saved me money and a trip to the dealership. I literally changed my battery while watching your video.

[@eddiediesel9035]

Thank you very much for the info. I was charged $65.00 by the car dealership to replace the battery.

[@donhebel1011]

Crazy 😮 when it's so quick n simple right? 👍

[@MzPiXeYstyx]

We just got a Chevy equinox and the key I got the physical key was stuck in my fob. I’m glad I found your video bc getting it out and back where it belongs was such an easy thing to do. Thank you 😊

[@Nashwaldo8321]

Thank you so much! I chsnged both batteries in both remotes in less than 3 minutes. Your instructions were clear and concise making it easy teasy. Thanks again!!

[@kitagethers]

Thanks for creating this video. It was very helping in assisting in me changing my key fob battery. Thanks again.

[@HeyItsFatAlbert]

My fob battery died right before leaving for work the other morning. Thanks to your video I was able to grab an old key, switch out batteries, and get to work on time. THANK YOU!!!

[@barbaradaskal6403]

This was the easiest tutorial online! Done in less than 3 minutes. Thanks

[@LaShumbra_Bates_AuDHD]

Thank you! You saved me a trip to the dealership! Your video was so clear & detailed. Another video almost had me breaking my key fob. Glad I stopped and found your video. 😊

[@ricksmith4044]

Excellent video, I was stuck with zero percent on my remote. I did not know how to change the battery. Your video got me out of a pinch. Thank You!!!

[@Nix7c0]

This was just the ticket. Thanks for making it!

[@youngladydragon2610]

Thank you thank you! Husband and I were worried about changing fobs, but now we just need to change the batteries, thank you thank you again!

[@BazzaBeef]

Thank you for creating this video. I was a bit nervous popping it open but with a little bit of pressure it popped open. You saved me a trip to the dealership and likely a lot of money. Also your video took the mystery out of these fobs. I think it took me a minute to change the battery and the CR2032 must be a popular size since I had a spare one around the house. Reassembled, checked the locks and started the Equinox. Perfect ! Thanks a again.

[@mikebusmc88]

Thank you. It literally took 30 seconds to change the battery.

[@cynthialewis7460]

Awesome and perfectly not too fast not too slow timing thank you so much

[@robinwhite-underwood467]

Thank you! It worked just the way it was supposed to. After a very bad day, I needed one tiny success.

[@reneearnold4430]

Thank you! Every 3 years I forget how to do it! Great video.

[@ZeeZeeBun]

Perfectly clear instruction.. Thank you... Car alerted me to changing the battery soon for the first time today, at first I thought the little silver button on the side just opened it.... Needless to say I was a bit surprised and confused when a little key thing popped out and nothing else...

[@MercyAndGrace333]

Thank you! You saved me a trip to the dealership!

[@7unalions2]

Quick and to the point. Thanks man

[@leeenda]

Thanks for all the details!

[@DavidTaylor-ki2ir]

Thank you for an easy to understand video!

[@jacquelineratkowiak5297]

Very helpful video. I've never had to change a fob battery before. This was short, sweet and to the point. Got both my key fobs done in no time at all.

[@jillbrown9833]

This video helped me replace the battery in just a few minutes. Very helpful, thank you!

[@sandrabrown322]

Yes, I agree the instructions were simple. Eyeglass repair small screwdriver will work. I also changed the battery while watching. This was not at all intuitive. Thank you!

[@Mrsfireangel]

Thanks my car just notified me to change the battery didn’t know how . Clicked on the first video and now I know thanks again 😊

[@huskerfan4life]

This helped out wonderfully. was having issues with keyfob, and got a battery and followed instructions and 100% better

[@hersheyqueenlisa]

Great video! Thank you! But what is the key for?

[@ericastuchell7242]

Thank you. I knew it was simple I just forgot about using the key to pop it open.

[@verlshields5593]

mine had a circuit board inside it, I did not see in the video. Your video was perfect and Thank you so much.

[@derrick-is-dnice]

Worked like a charm. Thanks.

[@bobpawlak8530]

Perfect video.... Right on the mark!!

[@sydschlei8035]

Thank you, I’m a bit of a simpleton and you explained it so perfectly.

[@veramiles9836]

Thank you so much. I was very nervous and was anticipating having to go to the dealership. Your video and instructions were great. You were precise and you went slowly enough that I only had to pause it once and that was when I went and got the screwdriver. Thank you again. One down, one more to go.

[@mgsweetie327]

Thank you so much I was able to do it effortlessly

[@nitinnikam2309]

[@ddavis2893]

[@Cajirik]

Perfect video for changing the battery. Clear and concise instructions. Very helpful tip with using the key itself to pry the remote open.

[@DH-sj6kg]

Thanks, that was easier than I thought.

[@robertgoplays9523]

[@PamWebb604]

Thank you. I was trying to pry it open with a screwdriver.

[@wrightlarry1059]

Thank you. I'm so not good at stuff like this and I did it without a problem.

[@theskebos6931]

Thank you. It helped and was very simple to do.

[@mjl8197]

Helpful video but you failed to mention some critical things, that can cause significant time and frustration if you're not watching out for it: 1. THE SPRING! Depending on how the Fob enclosure happens to come apart, the components you move may already stay on the other half. The little silver lever, whose end is the release button is very lightly held in place in a groove, retaining a tiny spring that provides the pressure for the key release button. If it happens to move out of that grove a little bit the spring can go shooting somewhere into the universe. Mine did so and I was incredibly fortunate to be able to find it several feet away on the floor with a flashlight. When when I first put it back together it wasn't back in the groove quite right, and I managed to miss form the end of it when I was putting the metal key back in the slot. I had to try to carefully bend it back into shape. It didn't manage to shoot away again while trying to get it back in the slot, this time I amazingly heard it land in a box several feet away, and was able to retrieve it once again. Finally on the third try I got it back in just right. If you're just aware that can happen, and make sure that little lever stays in the groove while you take apart it will all be fine. 2. Have your new battery ready to go. There are reports of some people losing the Fob's code and having to reprogram the vehicle to recognize it. That likely would be from either allowing the fob battery to run all the way down, we're leaving the battery out of the fob for an extended period of time. It's not a big race but I wouldn't recommend removing the battery and then leaving it out for an hour or two while driving to the store to get one. And replace it rather than procrastinate when the vehicle warned you more than once that it is getting low. 3. Go easy on the plastic while prying with a screwdriver. The little plastic tabs around the battery and button slide can snap off if you are reckless.
