Multimeters can be used to test the voltage of a battery. If the voltage of the battery is less than 11.5 Volts, it has to be replaced. This is possible at many auto repair shops or on the internet. Make sure to purchase a premium battery as it will last much longer than a cheap battery. Clean the battery terminals as well to avoid corrosion.

A key fob that's not working could be a huge problem, but there's some simple things you could do to get it back up and running again.

If you're not certain which is the issue, bring your car to a mechanic to be diagnosed.
