Keyless entry ones? IIRC these transmit signal all the time, thus battery can be drained by time in spare too. Advise to buy replacement batteries and keep one in glovebox & another .. out of spare key fob. When battery is low in fob, it should be signaled about with indicator on dash. Replacement battery was IIRC Panasonic CR1632 3V (keyword: of 1632 formfactor)

I've had a devil of a job finding CR1632 batteries. Had to resort to ebay.

No idea if these take the same battery. Best bet is to pry open the shell and look. It'll probably have a notch in the side you can twist something like a 1p/2p coin in to pop it open. Shouldn't be a problem as long as you're gentle with it.

If it is the same battery, I couldn't find them in normal shops either - but Halfords sell them.

(I feel a little dirty recommending Halfords :ph34r:)
