Gather Your Materials
Before you start, make sure you have the necessary materials. You will need a new battery, a small flathead screwdriver, and your Buick key fob.

Insert the New Battery
Next, insert the new battery into the holder with the positive (+) side facing up. Make sure the battery is securely in place before closing the battery compartment.
Test the Key Fob
Now that the new battery is in place, test your key fob to make sure it is working properly. If it still isn’t working, you may need to try a different battery or consult a professional.
Dispose of the Old Battery
Be sure to dispose of the old battery properly. Most hardware stores or auto parts stores will recycle used batteries. You can also check with your local recycling center for proper disposal.
