How to Remove the Battery from a Magotan Remote Key?
2 Answers
Opening the Magotan's remote key is generally for battery replacement. The disassembly steps are divided into the following 6 steps: 1. Prepare a flat-head screwdriver about 3mm wide and a battery (CR2032). 2. Push the locking mechanism of the emergency key to remove the mechanical key. 3. Insert the flat-head screwdriver along the mechanical keyhole, gently turn it clockwise until the key cover pops out. 4. Remove the old battery, noting the positive and negative poles. 5. Insert the new battery, ensuring to use a new battery with the same voltage, structure size, and specifications, paying attention to the positive and negative poles. 6. Close the key cover and insert the mechanical key.
Last time I changed the battery for my Magotan remote key, I did it myself. Usually there's a small gap on the back cover of the key. Just use a plastic pry tool or a hard card to gently pry it open - never use metal tools to avoid scratching the casing. After opening it, you'll see a small battery, typically CR2032 model, round like a button cell. Note the positive side facing up, remove the old battery, and put the new one in the same orientation. After reassembly, test the unlock button - if the response slows down, it's time to replace. Keep your hands clean as grease may affect contact. One replacement usually lasts 2-3 years. Frequent use drains the battery faster, so storing the key in a dry place helps prolong its life. It's both cost-effective and simple - I've even taught my family how to do it.
