Changing the key battery is very easy to do in DIY mode. Take the key and remove the metal part of the physical key, then look on the back, you will see a small slot. With a flat screwdriver or a coin, gently pry and remove the cover. Now you will find the battery, usually a CR2032. Remove it carefully and put the new one making sure that the positive + side is facing upwards. Put the cover back on by pressing firmly until you hear a click.
