How to Replace the Key Battery for Buick Excelle?
2 Answers
Buick Excelle key battery replacement method: Before replacing the battery, you need to remove the mechanical key, then pry open the key shell along the gap to replace the battery. If your car's remote key battery is dead, it is recommended to replace it immediately, otherwise it will affect normal use. The Buick Excelle is a compact sedan under the Buick brand. The entire Buick Excelle series is equipped with a 1.3-liter naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 79kW and a maximum torque of 133Nm. In terms of body dimensions, the Buick Excelle measures 4515mm in length, 1725mm in width, and 1445mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2600mm.
I've been driving a Buick Excelle for ten years and have replaced the key battery several times myself. It's quite simple. The key is usually a one-piece design with a small gap on the back. Just use a flat-head screwdriver or a coin to carefully pry it open. Don't use too much force to avoid cracking the shell. Once opened, you'll see a small button battery, typically a CR2032. Remember the orientation with the positive side facing up. Before removing the old battery, it's best to wear gloves to prevent static electricity. New batteries can be bought at supermarkets or auto repair shops for just a few dollars. After replacing it, close the shell and press it firmly. Finally, test the remote door lock or ignition to see if it works. Sometimes, if the key doesn't respond, it's because the battery is drained. Replacing it in advance saves trouble. I recommend checking the battery life once a year to avoid issues on the road. This task takes just five minutes at home, saving money and hassle—no need to spend extra at a shop.
