Go to Radio Shack ans get the GP-27A (keyless remote) batteries. They look like miniature AAA batteries and replace those button batteries perfectly. They are a lot cheaper (2 for about $1.79)

You should be able to check them with a voltmeter just like any other battery. Find the ones with voltge and put them in.

You only need one battery for each remote. Save the other one or put it in your other remote if you hsve one.
