Here are the steps to replace the battery in a Borui key: 1. First, remove the mechanical key to reveal two holes. 2. Insert the mechanical key into the hole for removing the key cover panel. 3. Gently pry open the battery cover panel using the lever principle, then remove the old battery. Here are the body dimensions of the Geely Borui: 1. Length: 4986mm. 2. Width: 1861mm. 3. Height: 1513mm. 4. Wheelbase: 2870mm. 5. The Geely Borui is equipped with a 1.8T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 135 kW, a maximum power speed of 5000 rpm, and a maximum torque of 300 Nm.
Last time I almost broke the key shell when replacing the battery for my Borui key myself. First, you need to pull out the hidden mechanical key by pressing the small button on the side to release the metal strip. Then, gently pry along the seam of the key with a fingernail or thin tool until you hear a click, and stop immediately—never use excessive force. The plastic clips are particularly fragile; my friend’s key casing cracked along the seam. Once opened, you’ll see the button battery, model CR2032, which is readily available in supermarkets. When replacing it, avoid touching the metal surface of the battery with your fingers, as this can shorten its lifespan. When reassembling, align the clips properly and press firmly. Finally, test the remote locking function to ensure it works. Now, I always keep spare batteries in the glove box—it’s especially frustrating when the remote fails on rainy days.
