2 Answers
The method for replacing the battery in a DS6 key is as follows: 1. First, press the button on the electronic key to remove the mechanical key; 2. Insert a screwdriver into the small notch at the top covered by the mechanical key and gently pry it upwards, at which point the electronic key will separate; 3. Now you can see the battery. Pry out the old battery and replace it with a new one. Be careful not to reverse the positive and negative poles; 4. Snap the two parts back together, press the edges, and the clips will return to their original position. 5. Insert the mechanical key back into the electronic key to lock it. The battery replacement is now complete.
When I replaced the battery for my DS6 key before, I found it quite simple. The main thing is there's a clip on the back of the key – you can gently pry it open with a plastic card or small coin to remove the cover. Make sure to check that the battery model is CR2032, which you can easily buy at supermarkets or hardware stores. When replacing, ensure the positive side faces upwards to avoid incorrect placement, then press the cover back firmly and test the buttons. The whole process takes about ten minutes, but avoid using metal tools to prevent scratching the casing. Since frequent use drains the battery faster, I recommend checking it once a year to prevent unexpected failures. It’s also handy to keep a few spare batteries at home for quick replacement when needed. Placing a tissue on the work surface helps prevent losing small parts—safe and convenient. As someone who frequently tinkers with cars, I’ve noticed that paying attention to these details extends the key’s lifespan significantly.
