Steps to replace the battery in a Peugeot 308 key: First, remove the key ring. You can use a 1-yuan coin to wedge into a groove on the key, then apply some force to twist the coin and open it. After opening, take out the old battery and replace it with a new one, making sure to distinguish the positive and negative poles - positive pole down and negative pole up. The Peugeot 308 is a compact family car under the Peugeot brand, with a wheelbase of 2675mm. It comes equipped with three engines: a low-power version 1.2T turbocharged engine, a high-power version 1.2T turbocharged engine, and a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine. The low-power version engine has a maximum power of 85kW and a maximum torque of 190Nm, while the high-power version engine has a maximum power of 100kW and a maximum torque of 230Nm.
I've changed the battery for my Peugeot 308 key several times, and it feels quite straightforward. There's a small button on the side of the key; press it to pop out the small blade, and the key casing opens. Use a fingernail or a small flat-head screwdriver to gently pry open the shell—be careful not to break it. Inside, there's a CR2032 coin cell battery; make sure the positive side faces up to avoid incorrect installation. Remove the old battery, replace it with a new one, and then press the shell back together. After replacement, test the remote unlock and lock functions to ensure everything works. The battery typically lasts about two years. If the key acts up in winter or stops responding, it might be due to a drained battery. Don't skimp on quality when buying batteries—choose reputable brands to avoid frequent replacements. Doing it yourself saves a trip to the repair shop, saving time and money while learning a new skill. Remember to avoid using excessive force throughout the process to prevent damaging the key components.
