Replacing the Key Battery on Opel Cars

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra K - Years 2015-2022
Part: Key

Replacing the key battery on Opel cars is really simple. To do this, insert a small flat-head screwdriver into the side of the key fob and lever it open without damaging it. Voila! You now have the battery in front of you. Using the screwdriver again, remove the old battery from its holder and insert the new one you purchased, which can be easily found in any hardware store or large supermarket. Refit the key fob cover by pressing it back on, and you're done.
