To replace the battery in a Mazda6 key, follow these steps: 1. Open the key head and locate the separation slot inside the folding key; 2. Use a hard wire or a small flat-head screwdriver to press the internal clip and separate the key; 3. After separation, use the screwdriver to pry open the sides of the back half; 4.

Additional information: The Mazda6 is a mid-size sedan with the following dimensions: length 4670mm, width 1780mm, height 1435mm, wheelbase 2675mm, front track 1540mm, and rear track 1540mm.
Replacing the Mazda 6 key battery is quite simple. I did it myself last year and saved the trip to the repair shop. Just prepare a CR2025 button battery and a small flat-head screwdriver or plastic pry tool. There's a small gap on the side or back of the key—use the tool to gently pry open the back cover, but don't use too much force to avoid breaking the plastic clips. Once you see the old battery, remove it carefully, noting that the smooth side usually faces down (positive side). Insert the new battery in the same orientation. Snap the cover back on firmly and test the unlock button to ensure it works. The battery typically lasts one to two years. When you notice the remote range shortening, it's time for a replacement. You can buy them for just a few dollars at supermarkets or online. Regular maintenance prevents failure at critical moments. Keep your hands clean during the process to avoid static damage to the internal chip. In short, it’s a quick 10-minute task.
