What is the battery model for the Ford Kuga remote key?
2 Answers
The battery model for the Ford Kuga key is CR2032. CR2032 is a lithium manganese dioxide battery, named according to the IEC standard. The breakdown is as follows: C - Indicates a chemical battery system with lithium metal as the negative electrode and manganese dioxide as the positive electrode. R - Indicates the battery shape is cylindrical; if it were square, F would be used instead. 20 - Indicates the battery diameter is 20mm. 32 - Represents the battery height is 3.2mm. The nominal voltage is 3.0V, the endpoint voltage is 2.0V, and the rated capacity varies between 200-240mAh, depending on the manufacturer's quality. The shelf life of CR2032 is typically 5 years. If the manufacturer's production level is low or quality control is poor, the lifespan can be significantly shorter. Domestic first-tier brand batteries generally guarantee this lifespan. Under ideal conditions (sealed, room temperature, no moisture, etc.), the lifespan can extend further to 8 years or even 10 years. Generally, replacing a car key battery involves the following three steps: Step 1: Remove the mechanical key. Press the lock button on the side of the smart key to remove the mechanical key. Step 2: Open the battery cover. After removing the mechanical key, you will see a deep slot and a shallow slot at the top of the smart key. The deep slot is the keyhole, while the shallow slot is used to open the battery cover. Insert the mechanical key into the shallow slot and pry it open to reveal the coin cell battery. Gently push to remove the battery. Step 3: Replace the new battery. Insert the new battery, then reattach the battery cover and mechanical key in order to complete the battery replacement.
I've been driving the Ford Kuga for several years and have replaced the key battery myself a few times when it ran out of power. The battery model is CR2032, a common button cell that can be easily found in electronics markets or supermarkets, both affordable and convenient. I remember being a bit nervous the first time I replaced it, but the actual operation was quite simple—just use a small screwdriver to pry open the key shell, and inside you'll find the battery slot. Remove the old one and replace it with a new one, making sure the positive side faces up to avoid incorrect installation. The Kuga's key design is very user-friendly; after replacing the battery, the remote function immediately resumes, and you can save on dealership costs. I recommend checking the battery every two years to avoid malfunctions at critical moments that could affect usage.
