CR1616 battery on Amazon

2004–2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 Acura TSX key fob battery

Your 2004–2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 Acura TSX key fob uses a CR1616 3V lithium coin cell. A fresh one typically lasts 3–5 years.

Buy Panasonic CR1616 Lithium Coin Batteries (4-pack) on Amazon

How to replace the battery

  1. 1 Find the seam or small slot on the edge of the remote.
  2. 2 Twist a coin or small flathead in the slot to split the case open.
  3. 3 Remove the old coin cell and note the + side.
  4. 4 Fit the new battery with the + side matching, then close the case.
  5. 5 Press a button to confirm the LED lights, then test at the car.

Battery tips

  • Use a fresh, name-brand 3V lithium cell — bargain cells drain quickly.
  • Try not to touch both faces of the new battery; skin oils shorten its life.
  • If the remote still doesn't work after a new battery, it may need re-syncing or programming.

2009–2014 Acura TSX key fob battery

Your 2009–2014 Acura TSX key fob uses a CR1620 3V lithium coin cell. A fresh one typically lasts 3–5 years.

Buy Energizer CR1620 Lithium Coin Batteries (4-pack) on Amazon

How to replace the battery

  1. 1 Look for a small notch or screw on the side of the fob where the key blade meets the buttons.
  2. 2 Pry the housing apart with a coin or small flathead (or remove the screw).
  3. 3 Pop out the old coin cell, noting its orientation.
  4. 4 Insert the new battery the same way up, then snap the case shut.
  5. 5 Test the buttons — if they work, you're done.

Battery tips

  • Use a fresh, name-brand 3V lithium cell — bargain cells drain quickly.
  • Try not to touch both faces of the new battery; skin oils shorten its life.
  • If the buttons still don't respond after a new battery, the remote may need re-syncing or programming.
