My RRS key-fob battery died while I was away and it wasn't getting enough juice from the ignition cylinder's induction charging to keep a charge for more than a couple hours. Starting the vehicle was fine, but the doors could not be opened with the remote.

B&E Electronics on Manitou Road SE for the win. I picked up two 20mm coin cell battery holders (through-hole type), then desoldered the LIR2032's posts from the key-fob's PCB, soldered the battery holder in its place and installed a new LIR2032. Works like a charm and took maybe 10 minutes per key-fob, and I say that as someone who is not particularly experienced at soldering to begin with.
