The battery model for the Magotan key is CR2032, and the lifespan of the key battery is approximately 5 years. Taking the 2020 Magotan as an example, it belongs to the mid-size sedan category with body dimensions of: length 4865mm, width 1832mm, height 1471mm, and a wheelbase of 2871mm, with a curb weight of 1445kg. The 2020 Magotan features a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum power of 110kW, and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The battery model for my Volkswagen Magotan's key is CR2032. This thing has been used for several years, and I replaced it once last year. At that time, the key suddenly couldn't unlock the door, so I tried prying open the back cover with a coin and found the battery was flat. I quickly replaced it with a new one. CR2032 batteries can be bought in supermarkets or online for just a few bucks each, and the key became responsive immediately after replacement. Fellow car owners say the battery typically lasts about a year, and it drains faster with frequent use. I've developed a habit of checking the battery voltage every six months—just get a cheap voltage tester. Also, avoid storing it in the car under direct sunlight, as overheating can cause the battery to leak, leading to more trouble. If not replaced in time, you might find yourself unable to use the key in an emergency, having to rely on the mechanical key to open the door. That's why I always carry a spare battery with me, just in case.
I really enjoy fixing small things by myself, and I've replaced the battery in my Magotan key fob quite a few times. The model is CR2032, that small flat round button battery. Be careful not to get the wrong one when buying, as other models with different sizes might not fit. The replacement method is super easy: There's a seam on the side of the key, and I just use a bank card to gently pry open the cover. After removing the old battery, make sure to place the new one with the positive side facing up (CR2032 usually has markings), then snap the cover back on tightly. The whole process takes less than a minute and doesn't even require tools. I recommend car owners to look up video tutorials online. I was a bit nervous at first too, but after trying once, I got much more skilled. Don't choose the cheapest no-name batteries as poor quality ones tend to leak. I recommend Panasonic or Double Deer brands—durability is crucial for car use.
