What is the battery model for the Lynk & Co 03 car key?
2 Answers
The battery model for the Lynk & Co 03 car key is CR2032, a 3V lithium-manganese battery. The battery used in car remote keys is a button cell, and for the specific model used in each variant, owners can refer to the battery model in the user manual for replacement. The main battery models used in car keys are divided into three categories: CR2016, CR2025, and CR2032. The battery in a car remote key typically lasts 2-3 years, except for touchscreen LCD remote keys, as the battery life may vary depending on the car model. Steps to replace the car key battery: 1. Identify the battery model used in the car key. 2. Press the key symbol button on the side of the car key. 3. Pull out the mechanical key and use a flat-head screwdriver to insert it into the "open" position to pry open the car key. 4. Open the car key and locate the battery position. 5. Replace the battery. 6. Reassemble the car key. 7. Insert the mechanical key back into the car key.
As the owner of a Lynk & Co 03, which I picked up last year, I've noticed that the remote key's operating distance has recently shortened and sometimes becomes unresponsive. Checking the manual revealed that it uses a CR2032 battery, readily available at supermarkets. Replacing the battery is incredibly simple: the key's back cover has grooves—use a coin or thin tool to gently pry it open, being careful not to damage the clips. Remove the old battery, insert a new CR2032 with the positive side facing up, then reassemble and test the remote to ensure it's working again. I recommend keeping one or two CR2032 batteries at home. Battery life typically lasts one to two years, depending on usage frequency, so replacing them in advance can prevent being stranded without a working key. From my experience, when the battery dies, you can still use the mechanical key to open the door in an emergency, but starting the vehicle might require a backup method or checking for other faults. Handling it yourself saves money and hassle.
