3 Answers
Geely car key battery replacement method is: 1. Remove the metal key with the key ring, press the small square button on the back cover of the key, and pull out the metal key; 2. Insert the metal key into the square hole, then slowly turn the metal key counterclockwise to open the key back cover; 3. Place the part containing the circuit board properly, use a screwdriver to remove the old battery, and then install the new battery. Geely's models include: Geely Bin Yue, Geely Bo Yue, Geely Xing Rui, Geely Hao Yue, Geely Yuan Jing, etc. Taking the 2020 Geely Yuan Jing as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4599mm, width 1747mm, height 1482mm, wheelbase 2615mm, and body weight 1210kg.
I just replaced the battery in my Geely key fob, and the process was quite simple. Prepare a CR2032 coin cell battery and a small flat-head screwdriver. The back of the key fob has a clip design. Insert the screwdriver into the gap near the keyring and gently pry it open, being careful not to scratch the casing. Inside, the battery compartment is marked with positive and negative poles; typically, the side with the text on the battery faces upward. Use the screwdriver to gently remove the old battery, and avoid leaving fingerprints when inserting the new one. When closing the casing, align it with the clip positions and listen for a click to ensure it's securely fastened. Finally, test the car door unlock button—if it works, you've succeeded! Doing it yourself saves about a hundred bucks in repair fees, and the whole process takes just five minutes. Remember to handle it gently, as the plastic casing is fragile—don’t use excessive force.
Last time I changed the battery for my Geely car key myself, sharing some experience. First go to the supermarket to buy a CR2032 battery, which costs about 10 yuan. Back home, find a small tool - I used a miniature screwdriver from an eyeglass shop. The key part is opening the key: press your thumb on the indentation at the back of the key, then slowly pry along the edge gap with the tool, just like opening a phone case. After opening, be careful not to touch the circuit board as the metal springs are delicate. When replacing the battery, observe the plus/minus marks in the slot to avoid installing it backwards. After installation, test all function buttons for responsiveness - if the remote range decreases, it might be poor battery contact. The whole process was easier than expected, even girls can do it effortlessly.
