How to replace the battery of a Qoros 5 car key?

First, the initial step is to pull out the mechanical key by directly pressing the key head and pulling it out. Then, you can use a flat-head screwdriver to pry open the key along the seam of the key casing. Be careful to follow the seam all the way around to separate the front and rear casings. Once opened, you can see the battery compartment inside. There is a cover on the battery; removing the cover reveals the battery and its protective collar, allowing you to replace the battery.
I've personally replaced the battery for the Qoros 5 key several times and found it quite simple. The key usually uses a CR2032 coin cell battery, which can be bought at supermarkets or online. Find a quiet place to do the job to avoid losing small parts. Use a flat-head screwdriver to gently pry open the key shell—don’t apply too much force to prevent scratches. Once opened, locate the battery, which may appear as a small silver disc, and use tweezers or a toothpick to pop it out. When inserting the new battery, make sure the positive side faces up; reversing it will render the key unusable. Close the shell firmly and press the buttons to test if it locks/unlocks the car. The whole process takes just a few minutes—cost-effective and hassle-free. Typically, the battery lasts about two years, but replace it early if power weakens to avoid malfunctioning when you least expect it.
