How to Replace the Battery in a Baojun 610 Car Key?
2 Answers
Simply use a tool to pry open the key's outer shell, and then you can replace the battery. Below are some relevant details: 1. Car remote keys contain batteries, which typically last 2 to 3 years. If the battery in the remote key is dead, it needs to be replaced. Failure to replace it will affect the owner's normal use of the car. 2. When replacing the battery, open the key, check the model of the old battery, and then purchase a new battery of the same model to install. 3. When using the remote key, avoid exposing it to water, as most car remote keys are not waterproof. 4. During regular use, try to avoid remote operations from long distances to conserve battery power. Frequent long-distance remote use will increase power consumption and reduce the battery's lifespan. 5. When opening the shell to replace the battery, be careful not to damage the chip. If the chip is damaged, you will need to have it reprogrammed, which can be expensive. If the chip is damaged, you can have it reprogrammed at a 4S shop or a specialized car key programming service. 6. In daily use, keep the spare key at home. If the main key is damaged or lost, the spare key can still unlock the car door and start the engine.
I've been driving my Baojun 610 for several years and have replaced the remote key battery several times—it's quite easy. Baojun car keys generally use CR2032 coin batteries, which can be bought for just a few dollars at supermarkets or online. The steps are simple: first, locate the small gap on the back of the key and gently pry open the shell using a fingernail or a thin card (avoid metal tools to prevent scratches). Once opened, you'll see the battery compartment; carefully remove the old battery, being mindful not to let the spring fly out. Insert the new battery with the positive side facing up, ensuring good contact. When closing the shell, a click sound confirms it's locked. Wash your hands before handling to avoid static electricity, and choose a dry environment. If the key runs out of power, the remote unlocking will fail, but the mechanical key can still open the door and start the car. I recommend replacing the battery every two years to prevent sudden power loss affecting your trip. Household items like the edge of a bank card can serve as tools. Keep a spare battery in the car for emergencies. Avoid forcing the shell open, as broken clips may require replacing the entire key, costing unnecessary money.
