3 Answers
Use your finger to forcefully flip the switch in the middle of the car key, which will cause the back cover of the key to pop up. Remove the key and set it aside. Hold both ends of the key with your fingers. Then, use your other hand to forcefully pry open the gap between the key halves until the key is fully opened. Remove the depleted battery from inside the key and insert a new battery of the same model into the battery slot. Ensure the positive side "+" of the battery faces upward. Align the front cover with the back cover and snap them together. If they don't fit, check if the orientation is incorrect. Be careful not to use excessive force to avoid damaging the clips. After replacing the battery, align both sides of the key and press firmly to close it. Then, insert the key back into the keyhole to complete the battery replacement.
I've replaced the battery in my Sinotruk Wangpai key fob a few times myself, and found it quite simple. There's always a seam on the back of the key - don't use hard metal tools, just gently pry it open with a plastic card or your fingernail. Inside you'll find a small coin cell battery, typically CR2032 model which you can buy at supermarkets. Pay attention to the orientation of the old battery (negative side facing down) and insert the new one the same way. After closing the cover, press a button to check if the red LED lights up. Battery life is about 1-2 years - when power runs low, the remote's operating distance will shorten, so I recommend replacing it in advance. Wash your hands before replacement to avoid static electricity, and handle gently to prevent scratching the key case. The whole process takes just minutes and can be done at home, saving you unnecessary expenses at the 4S shop.
As someone who drives frequently, I've encountered issues with low key battery. Replacing the Sinotruk Wangpai key battery is quite straightforward: locate the seam on the back of the key, gently pry it open with a thin screwdriver or credit card, but don't use too much force. After opening, you'll see a round CR2032 battery. Is the positive side facing up? No, the negative side is usually facing down, so don't install it backwards. Remove the old battery, and before placing the new one, clean the contacts with a cloth. Close the cover and test if the remote functions properly. If the remote doesn't work, it might be installed the wrong way. I recommend using Panasonic or Sony batteries for better quality, which cost just a few dozen yuan. When parking, avoid placing the key near your phone to prevent signal interference. Ensure good lighting when replacing the battery to avoid missing small components.
