Replacing the battery in a Mercedes E55 key is actually quite simple, as I've handled similar keys before. First, locate the small gap on the key and gently pry open the casing using a flathead screwdriver. Inside, you'll typically find a CR2032 coin cell battery—make sure not to get the model wrong. Carefully remove the old battery, avoiding contact with the metal parts to prevent short-circuiting. Install the new one, reassemble the casing, and test the remote locking function. If the casing is hard to pry open, it might have hidden clips—don’t force it. It’s advisable to keep a spare battery in the car for emergencies. The whole process takes at most five minutes, and even beginners can manage it, but ensure you have the right tools and avoid using oversized ones that could damage the key.
