How long does the key battery of Geely Binyue last?

This duration is not uniform and depends on specific usage conditions. Long-distance remote control will deplete the battery faster. Introduction to Remote Key: A remote key utilizes the wireless remote function of the central locking system, allowing you to unlock and lock the doors from a distance without inserting the key into the lock. Working Principle of Remote Key: First, the key emits a weak radio wave, which is received by the car's antenna. The electronic control unit (ECU) then identifies the signal code, and the system's actuator (motor or electromagnetic coil) performs the unlocking/locking action.
The button battery in the Geely Binyue key is usually the CR2032 model, which typically lasts one to three years, depending on daily usage frequency. For frequent users like me, it may need replacement in about two years because pressing the key buttons often drains the battery faster. Cold weather also shortens the battery's lifespan—I noticed the key's remote range decreases in winter, which is a sign. It's advisable to store the key away from high-temperature areas, like avoiding leaving it in a car under direct sunlight, to slightly extend its life. Additionally, the original Geely battery quality is decent, but it's wise to prepare a new battery in advance after prolonged use. I usually buy the same model online for replacement, which is convenient and cost-effective. Never wait until the battery is completely dead to act, as it may cause issues when locking the car door, leading to significant trouble.
I've been driving the Geely Binyue for several years. The original key battery lasted nearly two years before running out, and I only noticed when the remote response became sluggish. Frequent use naturally leads to faster replacement - with my several daily drives, I change it about every two years, while a friend who uses it less has gone three years without issues. Battery life is also affected by environmental factors, with faster consumption during hot seasons. If the remote control distance shortens or the indicator light dims, it's a reminder to replace it. It's not difficult - just buy a CR2032 battery and do it yourself, but remember not to cheap out on off-brand products. Develop a habit of occasionally checking key functions to avoid inconvenient failures at critical moments.
