To access the slot where the battery is housed, you will need to open the key by pressing the designated button on the corner of your key. This way, you can leverage a thin tool in the central groove that splits the key in two. Take the top part and open it further; one side will have the control circuit while the other side will have the battery to be replaced.

Remove it and proceed with installing the new battery, then retrace your steps to reassemble the various components.
