Replacing the battery on a Honda Fit key fob is very easy. It can be done in about 60 seconds. This newest smart fob has been used in the Honda Fit Key Fob in years:

  • 2015
  • 2016
  • 2017
  • 2018
  • 2019
  • 2020

Right in this article, we are going to show you how to change the smart key Fob battery in a Honda Fit. This is used from 2015 till present, and this is a really easy battery to change. So we just flip it over on the back side. We can see there’s a little knob there.

It kind of looks like it’s got an arrow pointing down for looking at it like this. If we pull this towards us and pull out the valet key, that releases the valet key, and this Honda Key Fob has a really nice split all the way around it. So it’s a really easy one to split into two pieces, and the easiest and fastest way to do that is take your valet key, insert it right in the middle.

There’s kind of a slot that valet key will fit perfectly and just twist, and you’ll be able to pop off this piece into two really easily and get access to the battery that we need to change. So to change this battery, it’s a CR 2032 point battery. You can just, again, take your Fob battery, take your valet key and just pop out the coin battery. Then when you’re putting in a new one, just make sure that the letters are facing towards you.

When you put it back in the positive side and you kind of see there’s two longer teeth that hold in the key here. So if you put those and put that side in first, it’ll just slide line in really easily. If you try to do the other side, it’ll be pretty difficult. So hopefully you can see that. But yeah, that makes it a lot easier to put a new one back in, then just reattach this by popping it back together.

Should snap together quite nicely. And then go ahead and put your rally key back in, and that’s it. You’ve changed the key Fob battery for your Honda Fit. That’s all there is to it.

How to Replace a Honda Fit Key Fob Battery (2014 – Present) Physical Key

The Honda Fit has a bit of a challenging key battery to replace. First you need a small screwdriver. Not the small one you have in your toolset. You’ll need a precision set, or a jeweler’s set like this:

This key was used in the following model years of the Fit:

  • 2015
  • 2016
  • 2017
  • 2018
  • 2019
  • 2020

Okay, in this part of the article, we’re going to show you how to change the battery in a Honda Fit for their physical key. It’s got some rectangle buttons here. This was used from 2015 to present. So if you got a Honda Fit in this key, this is how you change the battery in the Fob. So go ahead and flip it over.

You’ll see a really tiny screw there. So you’re going to need a precision screwdriver set like this. So go ahead and take your smallest screwdriver and you have to press really hard to get traction into this screw and then obviously unscrew it.

Trust us, this can be hard to get out the first time. So once we get that out, if you look on the side right here, there’s a little notch. If we take our flat head screwdriver into this notch right here on the guide and twist, we can get some leverage between the two pieces of this kind of clamshell Fob, and just keep twisting there and you’ll be able to pop off the back of the key Fob.

So you can see the internal battery here. If you take our flathead, just pop kind of gently underneath. This will pop right out. You can see it’s a CR 1623 volts battery, and I’ll link to that as well. So when you put a new 1620 back in, just make sure that you push in this top part first.

It’s got some metal prongs that kind of have a little bit of give, and then these plastic pieces at the bottom, not so much. So if you push into the give ones first, you’ll be able to kind of easily get underneath the plastic ones I’ve found.
