Non-replaceable usually means "it's actually replaceable, but you need to have some tools, a how-to tutorial and fine motor skills"

Right. I've done it. It will last about 5 years.

Yep. People on the Transit forum have easily replaced the non-replaceable batteries in their keypads. There are how-to videos.
On my Transit(not Connect), I've had the keypad for about 9 years and the battery is just fine. These are the same keypads.

From its own builtin non replaceable battery (so in a few years you need to buy a new keypad)!

Thanks, good to know. The one on my 2012 F150 was 12 years old. NEVER an issue

what, battery shouldn't be that bad and die just in few years. I expect it lasts 10 years.

Yep cut into and then seal it back. May have to solder battery in also.

Wired Keyless Entry Pad Makes a RETURN. Just not to the Maverick.
Enough people must must have bitched. Regardless, whether some people had one and never used it.
I guess it was popular enough to start to bring back.
