To replace the Mini remote battery, use a lever tool to separate the two halves of the remote shell. Once opened, you can remove the battery from inside.

The battery will be connected to its chip, so you will need specific tools to disconnect and replace it. After installing the new battery, insert it back into the remote along with the chip. Finally, check that the device is functioning.
