Sure as long as you don't damage the circuit board or zap it with static electricity while swapping the battery. The procedure is in your owners manual.

I did that and had to take it to the dealer to get reprogrammed. I tried everything to get it to sync, but nothing would work. If it works, I personally wouldn't disturb anything. These keys are so tempermental, it's crazy.
