LR3 Key fob with standard CR2032 battery😳
Just come across this listing on Fleabay for LR3 key fob with full internals plus it appears to have a fixed battery cage to put in a standard CR2032 battery. This, to me, means no more fiddly soldering of replacement battery. Anyone had experience of this style of fob.

Problem will be that the case is glued together so you need to destroy the case to change the battery, both of my keys are on their original batteries.

Most of the aftermarket fobs clip together so not an issue. However when the key is in the ignition it charges the battery, not sure how that would impact a non rechargable battery.
My car is now 16 years old and both fobs still have their original rechargable batteries which both work well.

I've replaced both shells and they were the glue together type, if the replacements above are made for CR batteries then they wont have the charging circuit on the PCB.
