What is the battery model for the Magotan key?
3 Answers
The battery model for the Magotan car key is CR2032. The steps to replace the battery in the Magotan car key are: 1. First, pop out the metal head of the key, then hold both sides of the key and pull upwards to separate it into two parts. 2. Use a small screwdriver to separate and remove the button battery from the battery compartment. 3. Replace it with a new battery. Below is more information about the Magotan: 1. The dimensions of the Volkswagen Magotan are 4866mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1464mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2812mm. 2. The new Magotan continues to use Volkswagen's most advanced TSI+DSG golden combination, offering consumers three displacement options: 1.4TSI, 1.8TSI, and 2.0TSI.
My family has been driving a Magotan for several years, and every time the key battery runs out, I replace it myself. The battery type is usually the small CR2032 button cell. I just replaced it last year, and it's quite simple: first, use a coin or a small tool to pry open the key casing, then take out the old battery and insert a new CR2032, making sure the positive side is facing up and not reversed. I've tried different brands of CR2032, like Sony or Panasonic, which are quite durable, lasting about one to two years per battery. If the buttons stop responding or the remote range shortens, it might mean the battery is nearly depleted. My advice is to avoid no-name brands—cheap ones tend to leak and damage the key's internal circuits. Also, keep one or two spare batteries in the car or at home so you can fix sudden failures immediately and avoid disrupting your plans. Additionally, avoid exposing the key to water or high temperatures to extend its lifespan.
As a long-time Magotan owner, I remember the key battery has always been CR2032. I've replaced it myself several times without needing to spend money at a shop. The steps are straightforward: gently pry open the key casing, remove the old battery and replace it with a new CR2032 coin cell, making sure the positive and negative sides are aligned correctly. Once, when the battery died, I couldn't unlock the car and almost ended up late, so now I proactively check the battery level every year and a half or so. Battery life varies depending on usage—frequent use wears it out faster, but it typically lasts around 18 months. I've also noticed that other car keys use similar battery types, like CR2025, but the Magotan specifically requires CR2032, so don't get the wrong one. I recommend buying a reliable brand, testing the remote function after replacement, and performing regular maintenance to avoid trouble.
