The battery model for Civic key is C2032. Below is relevant information about car key batteries: Replacement of car key batteries: Generally, car key batteries need to be replaced every 2 to 3 years. The specific replacement time depends on the frequency of use and varies across different car models, making it difficult to determine an exact replacement time. When the control distance of the car key is less than half of the maximum remote control distance, or less than about six meters, the battery should be replaced promptly. Reasons for car key malfunction: During the use of car keys, malfunction may occur. The main issue is when approaching the car, the key cannot unlock the door, and it only works when near the driver's door. This situation is usually caused by a depleted car key battery, or it could be due to a problem with the car key sensor.
The battery model for the Civic key is generally CR2032, which is a common button-type lithium battery with a voltage of around 3V. I've been using my Civic for several years and often replace the battery myself. When replacing, carefully use a plastic tool or a coin to gently pry open the back of the key to reveal the battery compartment, then remove the old battery and install a new CR2032. Be careful not to reverse the positive and negative terminals. When purchasing batteries, look for the CR2032 model, which is easily found in supermarkets or online platforms like Taobao, with brands like Panasonic or Duracell available at a very low price of just a few yuan each. I recommend a preventive replacement every two years; otherwise, if the battery runs out, the key remote will fail. In such cases, you can still unlock the car door using the mechanical key, but a spare battery is needed to start the engine. Civic models from the tenth to the eleventh generation generally use this specification, so it's advisable to keep a spare new battery in the car just in case.
