First press the release button, slightly slide the cover outward, then flip it open. While pressing the release button, directly pull out the mechanical key. Then insert half of the key head into the black casing, carefully pry open the casing gap to separate the upper and lower covers.

When I disassembled my Lynk & Co key, I found the key is to be careful not to damage it. Most Lynk & Co keys use a snap-fit design without external screws - you can gently pry it open along the edge gap using a flathead screwdriver or plastic pry tool. Start prying from the lower half of the key, gradually loosening the clips to avoid cracking the plastic shell with excessive force. Once opened, you'll see the button battery inside (typically CR2032 model) - the battery compartment has fixing slots around it. Remove the old battery and replace it with a new one, making sure to align the positive and negative poles correctly before reassembling the case. The process is quite simple - I've done it several times myself. Though I always worry about damaging the electronic chip, as long as you work gently with proper tools, there's basically no risk. By the way, key batteries usually need replacement every 2 years or so - having tools ready in advance can save you a trip to the 4S dealership.
