How to Replace the Battery in a Geely Binyue Car Key?
2 Answers
Geely Binyue car key battery replacement method is as follows: First, remove the mechanical key to reveal two holes—one for the mechanical key and another for removing the mechanical cover plate. Then, insert the mechanical key into the cover plate removal hole to open the key cover. Next, remove the old battery, install the new one, reattach the cover, and finally reinsert the mechanical key. Battery replacement precautions: Always use original manufacturer batteries. Low-quality button batteries are not recommended for car remotes as they are not durable and may swell, leak, or damage the remote's chip. When installing a new battery, avoid touching both the positive and negative terminals simultaneously to prevent short-circuiting. The correct method is to hold the battery by its sides. Signs of low car key battery: The remote's effective range decreases. Normally, the car door unlocks within 6 meters, but when the battery is low, you may need to get closer or even stand right next to the car for a response. Intermittent remote functionality—sometimes working, sometimes requiring multiple presses—also indicates low battery.
I replaced the battery in my Geely Binyue car key myself, and the process was quite simple. My key has a folding design with a small notch on it. I used a coin to gently pry open the shell, being careful not to use too much force to avoid damaging the plastic. Inside, I saw the button battery, usually a CR2032 model, about the size of a small coin. I carefully removed the old battery, making sure not to touch the nearby circuit board to avoid static electricity. When inserting the new battery, I placed the negative side down into the slot and pressed it in to secure it. Then, I snapped the cover back on tightly and tested the key's button illumination or unlocking function. The whole process took just a minute or two, and the battery can be bought online or at a supermarket for just a few dollars. I recommend checking it every two years, especially if the key buttons start responding slowly—replace it early to avoid being stranded due to a dead battery.
