How to Replace the Battery in a BYD Remote?
2 Answers
First, press the button on the BYD car key. Then, pull out the mechanical key. After that, use a screwdriver to insert it along the gap of the key shell. Next, use a toothpick to remove the old battery. Install the new battery into the battery compartment. Finally, put the key cover back on, and the battery replacement is complete.
I've been driving a BYD for several years and have plenty of experience changing remote control batteries. Usually, when the battery is low, the button response slows down or the remote control distance shortens, which means it's time for a replacement. Prepare a small plastic pry tool or a hard plastic card—avoid using metal to prevent short circuits. Locate the small seam on the edge of the remote and gently pry open the back cover. After opening, remove the old battery, which is a CR2032 model—you can easily find a new one at supermarkets or auto parts stores. When inserting the new battery, make sure the positive side faces upward, with the printed side aligned with the contacts. Close the cover and press it firmly, then test the lock and unlock buttons. If the indicator light turns on, you've succeeded. The whole process takes less than ten minutes and saves you repair costs. I recommend changing it every two years or immediately when the battery weakens to avoid affecting driving safety. Keeping a few CR2032 batteries at home is also quite convenient.
