[AmirMarie]

The method to replace the battery in the GAC Trumpchi GS4 remote key is as follows: locate the gap on the side of the remote key, insert a thin metal piece into the gap, and rotate the metal piece to open the remote key shell. Once opened, you can see the battery compartment on the back cover. Follow the instructions to remove the old battery and replace it with a new one, then close the back cover to complete the installation. The Trumpchi GS4 has multiple models, and the body dimensions vary among them. The manual comfort version measures 4545mm in length, 1856mm in width, and 1668mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm. For all other models, the dimensions are 4545mm in length, 1856mm in width, and 1700mm in height, with the same wheelbase of 2680mm.

My GAC Trumpchi GS4 remote key stopped working the other day, the unlock button was unresponsive, and I guessed it was a battery issue. Upon checking, it turned out to be dead—the battery model is the common CR2032 coin cell, which can be bought at stationery stores or online. The battery replacement process is quite simple: first, locate the small groove on the back of the key, gently pry it open with a coin to remove the back cover, revealing the battery compartment. Carefully take out the old battery and replace it with a new CR2032, making sure the positive side faces up—don’t put it in backward. Then, press the cover firmly and test the remote; the buttons should work fine now. Doing it myself saved a trip to the 4S shop. I recommend checking the battery life regularly—it usually needs replacement every one or two years. Pay attention if the remote range shortens and address it early to avoid getting stuck outside. I’ve also learned to keep spare batteries at home for emergencies.

I've used the Trumpchi GS4 for a year or two, and replacing the key battery isn't complicated. Usually, there are clips or gaps on the back cover of the key, which can be pried open with a small screwdriver or fingernail to reveal the circuit board and battery compartment inside. The battery model is CR2032, and you can easily buy a new one at any electronics store. When handling it, I was careful to avoid damaging the components, and after replacement, I tested the unlocking, locking, and trunk functions to ensure everything worked properly. This kind of minor maintenance is quite interesting and helps you understand the internal structure. Remember to replace the battery before it expires to avoid affecting startup. It's advisable to buy branded batteries for better durability and to clean the key contacts to prevent corrosion.

I get annoyed when my GAC Trumpchi GS4 remote key fob runs out of battery, and I'm too lazy to replace it myself for fear of breaking it. Driving directly to the 4S store for professional service is much easier—they get it done in minutes and check the entire key. However, DIY isn't hard either: you can pry open the back cover, insert a new CR2032 battery, and even use a coin as a makeshift tool. But be careful not to crack the casing with too much force, as that would be costly and troublesome. Personally, I prefer professional service for peace of mind and safety. Also, it's important to know the manual unlocking method when the key fob is dead—the door has a keyhole for mechanical operation. A quick tip to avoid mistakes: don't buy counterfeit batteries, as they may leak.
