Open up the Key Fob and simply replace the battery. Sold at Walgreens, Walmart etc. for about $5.00.
If you're talking about a car battery.......you use a group 49/H8 battery. They are available at Walmart for $123.00

There is a little tab on the circuit board that sticks up to make contact with either the battery or as another contact point. Just be sure that you do not depress it otherwise the circuit will not be complete. If you do happen to bend it; gently bend it back up to touch whatever it was in contact with in the first place.

All done. Bought a two battery pack at Target for less than $7.00.
Energizer CR2032 (3V)
The complicated part was the tiny spring related to the "key release button" which needs to be seated in a channel properly when reconnecting the split case. It's a bugger to get that little spring to cooperate - but my wife got it done after she heard a couple swear words coming from the kitchen.
Thanks to all for the help and advice.

I agree completely. And to anyone buying cheap brand name batteries on ebay or amazon, read reviews and buy with caution as most likely theyre knock offs. Buyer beware.

Two things for anyone who comes across this thread:
I also had the yellow SMART KEY BATTERY LOW warning light. I opened the fob (to double-check that I had the right battery) and, lo and behold, the next time I tried it, no more warning light. I still have the replacement battery I bought in the glove compartment. I imagine that light will come on again soon, but it seems I bought myself a little time.
As to the key fob: I'd just bite the bullet and go to the dealer. I've read about work-arounds, but I don't think the savings are worth it for something like a key.
