How to Replace the Battery in an Elysion Car Key?
2 Answers
Method for replacing the Elysion key battery: 1. Carefully pry open the edge with a coin to remove the upper part of the cover. Wrap the coin with a cloth to avoid scratching the retractable key. 2. Use a small flat-head screwdriver to remove the button battery. 3. Ensure the battery is installed correctly with the proper polarity. Precautions are as follows: 1. Improper battery replacement may damage the car key. 2. Using an unsuitable or non-compliant battery may damage the car key. The battery's rated voltage, size, and specifications should be the same. 3. Following the steps correctly for battery replacement usually poses no problems. If issues arise during the process that cannot be resolved, it is recommended to call the 4S store for assistance. 4. If the unlock button is frequently pressed outside the operational range, the car may no longer be unlocked or locked with the remote key.
Last year, I also encountered a key battery issue with my Honda Elysion, and replacing the battery myself saved quite a bit of money. There's a small slit on the back of the key—use a flathead screwdriver or a coin to gently pry open the casing, being careful not to scratch the plastic. After removing the old battery, I saw it was a CR2032 model, which is readily available at supermarkets or auto parts stores for just a few bucks. Insert the new battery into the slot, ensuring the positive and negative terminals are correctly aligned (usually, the side marked with a plus sign faces upward). Once assembled, press the casing firmly and test the door unlock button and ignition switch to check responsiveness. A quick tip: key batteries typically need replacement every one to two years, especially with frequent remote use—check early to avoid being stranded with a dead key and needing a tow truck, which wastes both time and money.
