How to Replace the Key Battery for Zotye T600?
2 Answers
Press the silver round button at the upper right corner and pull out the mechanical key; do not fully remove the mechanical key—leave a portion inside. Flip the key over so the side with the "Z" logo faces upward; pry open the remote battery cover. Hold the key firmly with one hand, keeping the mechanical key inserted about one-third of the way; separate the key completely along the gap. Remove the black plastic battery holder; take out the old battery and replace it with a new one.
I've been driving a Zotye T600 for several years and have replaced the key battery myself multiple times. The method is quite simple. First, prepare a CR2032 battery, which can be purchased at a hardware store or supermarket. There's a small groove on the back of the key. I use a coin or a bank card to gently pry open the plastic back cover—don't use too much force, or it might crack. Once opened, you'll see the old battery, which can be gently removed with a fingernail or small tweezers. Pay attention to the polarity—the side with the plus sign is the positive side facing up. When inserting the new battery, just place it in the same orientation. After replacement, snap the back cover back on and press firmly, then test the key to ensure it works properly. I recommend checking the battery every year to avoid the hassle of a sudden dead key. I also keep a small set of tools in the car for emergencies—it's quite handy. The key design is quite durable as long as you don't damage the casing.
