What You’ll Need – Ghost 2 Fob Battery Change

To replace the Ghost II fob battery, gather these three essentials:

Your Ghost II fob
A new CR2032 battery (commonly found in most stores)
A tool to pry open the fob, a small flathead screwdriver works best, though in many cases you can even use your hands.

Step 1: Locate the Opening Slot

Flip your Ghost II fob over and look at the bottom edge. You’ll see a small opening slot designed to help you open the case.

Step 2: Open the Fob

Insert your prying tool into the slot and gently twist until the case begins to separate. If you prefer, you can also apply firm pressure with your fingers.

Pro tip: Don’t force it, the casing should open with a little leverage.

Step 3: Remove the Circuit Board and Old Battery

Inside, you’ll find the circuit board with the battery seated on it. Carefully lift the board out just enough to access the battery.

Slide the old battery out. Take note of its position, the positive (+) and negative (-) sides matter here.

Step 4: Insert the New Battery

Place the new CR2032 battery into the slot, making sure the + and – symbols align with the markings inside the fob.

If the battery is upside down, the fob won’t work.

Step 5: Reassemble the Fob

Once the new battery is in place:

Set the circuit board back properly so it aligns with the plastic pins.
Snap the casing back together until it clicks securely.

Your Ghost 2 fob is now ready to go.
