Ford Kuga Car Key Battery Model
2 Answers
Ford Kuga key battery model is CR2032. CR2032 is a lithium manganese dioxide battery, named according to IEC standards. Among them: C - indicates a chemical battery system with lithium metal as the negative electrode and manganese dioxide as the positive electrode; R - indicates that the battery shape is cylindrical, if square, F is used instead; 20 indicates the battery diameter is 20mm; 32 represents the battery height is 3.2mm. The nominal voltage is 3.0V, the endpoint voltage is 2.0V, and the rated capacity ranges from 200-240mAh, varying by manufacturer quality. The shelf life of CR2032 is typically 5 years. If the manufacturer's production standards are low or quality control is poor, the lifespan will be significantly shortened. Domestic first-tier brand batteries can generally guarantee this lifespan. Under ideal usage conditions (sealed, room temperature, no moisture interference, etc.), the lifespan can be further extended to 8 years or even 10 years. Generally, replacing a car key battery only requires the following 3 steps: Step 1: Remove the mechanical key. Press the latch on the side of the smart key to remove the mechanical key. Step 2: Open the battery cover. After removing the mechanical key, you can see a deep groove and a shallow groove at the top of the smart key. The deep groove is the keyhole, while the shallow groove is used to open the battery cover. Insert the mechanical key into the shallow groove and pry it outward to open the battery cover. Once opened, you will see the coin cell battery. Gently pry it out to remove the battery. Step 3: Replace the new battery. Install the new battery, then reattach the battery cover and mechanical key in order. The key battery replacement is now complete.
The Ford Kuga's remote key typically uses a CR2032 coin cell battery, which is readily available at supermarkets, hardware stores, and even online shopping platforms. I've replaced it several times myself—it's actually quite simple. First, pull out the mechanical key hidden inside the key fob, then gently pry open the casing along the seam using a coin. Pay attention to the orientation of the old battery when installing the new one, ensuring the positive side faces up. The whole process takes less than five minutes, but be careful not to use excessive force and break the plastic clips. After replacing, immediately test the lock and unlock functions. Once, I found the trunk button wasn’t working after installation—turns out the battery wasn’t seated properly. It’s advisable to keep a spare battery in the car, especially before long trips when checking the battery level is recommended.
