I've swapped batteries in the remotes on 3 different fords with no reprogramming. I got a buch of batteries off ebay.

You should be able to swap out batteries fine without having to reprogram. I've never done it to my factory remote, only use it when I don't want to set my alarm, but I've changed out my alarm remote battery twice now. Just pop it open and change the battery.

It all depends man. They last till they stop working pretty much, no way to say for sure. My factory remotes still have the factory batteries in them, but then again I've been using my alarm remote pretty much all the time since summer of 03
