Yep, the FAAC remote I used was of a similar design. 2x coin cells inside it.
Swapped the 2 cells over to new ones so will last years for all the use it ever gets. I wrapped the remote up and put a bit of velcro on the 'non button' side. Other half of the velcro is on the lower dash panel. I can just reach above the accelerator pedal and detatch for battery replacement if ever needed

Doesn't the remote fit through the switch mounting hole?
If so, to change batteries just pull it all out.

Thought about a number plate rotator!
The remote is a very neat fit through the existing hole, feared I may trail wires off if it got wedged in so the velcro under dash route was a more future proof solution. The newer FAAC remote is even bigger so if this one fails I can simply swap them over and continue Future proofed!

I'd have put a simple 2-pole connector (or two single ones) in that cable as well, probably down near the Velcro so the transmitter can easily be totally removed/replaced.
