Steps to replace the battery in a Geely Emgrand remote: 1. There is a button on one side of the key; press the button to pull out the mechanical key. 2. After pulling out the key, you will see the word "open" in English and a protruding part at the front of the key. 3. Insert a screwdriver into the protruding part, rotate it clockwise to pry open the shell, and you will see the battery and the circuit board of the key. 4. Insert the screwdriver into the bottom of the battery and gently pry it to remove the battery. 5. Place the prepared battery in, then reassemble the key in order. The Geely Emgrand is one of the three major sub-brands launched by Geely Auto, with various models such as the GL, GS, and New Emgrand. Among them, the EC718 and EC718RV are the sedan and hatchback versions of Geely's first B-segment sedan.
I've been driving a Geely Emgrand for several years and have become quite familiar with changing the remote battery. There's usually a seam in the middle of the key's back cover—just use a small flathead screwdriver or a coin to gently pry it open. The battery is a common CR2032 coin type, so make sure to check the packaging when buying a new one to avoid mistakes. After removing the old battery, clean any dust off the contacts, then insert the new battery with the correct polarity—usually positive side up. Before reassembling the cover, test the unlock button first—don't rush to close it. Last time, I finished the whole process in just three or four minutes, saving the cost of a repair shop visit. Avoid keeping the key squeezed in your bag to extend the battery life by a year or two. DIY is simple, safe, and a great way to practice hands-on skills.
