Default Keyless Entry battery replacement

Can anyone tell me the correct battery size for the keyless entry fab for my '02 Durango? Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I tried replacing the battery and it still isn't working. Is there something that needs to be reprogrammed?

Slightly bend the contacts up to make better connections with the batteries. Slightly!

Maybe it is 2 batteries. That could very well be the case as it seems like there it too much space and the battery isn’t being pushed far enough down. I'd be interested to see if two batteries are required.

None of my keyless entry remotes work, I have to go to the stealership and pay $50 to have them reprogrammed.

That's not what I want to hear! I just purchased this vehicle from a dealership last week. They told me the keyless entry fab just needed a new battery and would work once replaced.
