Method for disassembling and replacing the battery in a Zotye T600 key: 1. First, press the lock button on the Zotye T600 key to remove the mechanical key; 2. Insert half of the key head into the black casing and carefully pry open the gap in the casing to separate the upper and lower covers; 3. After opening the upper and lower covers, you will see the battery inside; 4. Remove the old battery and replace it with a new button battery, then reassemble the key following the reverse steps. The Zotye T600 is Zotye's first mid-size SUV model, equipped with 1.5T and 2.0T engines. The 1.5T engine is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, while the 2.0T engine comes with either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, offering both two-wheel-drive versions.
I've disassembled the Zotye T600 key fob to replace the battery myself. First, prepare a CR2032 coin cell battery and a small flathead screwdriver. There's a thin seam on the side of the key—use the screwdriver to gently pry open the casing, being careful not to use excessive force to avoid breaking the clips. After removing the back cover, you'll see the old battery. Use plastic tweezers or your fingernail to remove it, remembering that the side with the metal spring contact is the negative terminal. When inserting the new battery, ensure the positive side (marked with a + sign) faces upward, touching the metal contact. After replacing the battery, don't rush to close the cover—press the key buttons a few times to check if the indicator light turns on. Finally, align the cover with the slots and press firmly until you hear a click, indicating it's securely in place. Be extra careful not to damage the internal circuit board during the process. If your hands are sweaty, dry them before handling to prevent short-circuiting. Also, avoid storing the key with coins to prevent accidental button presses that could drain the battery.
