Borui's remote control battery model is CR2025. The method for replacing the remote control battery is as follows: 1. Remove the mechanical key; 2. Use a flat-head screwdriver to pry open the seam between the upper and lower plastic covers of the remote; 3. Take out the old battery and replace it with a new one. Taking the 2021 Geely Borui as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4986mm, width 1861mm, height 1513mm, wheelbase 2870mm, and fuel tank capacity 70L. The 2021 Geely Borui is equipped with a 1.8T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 135kW and a maximum torque of 300Nm.

My Borui has been running for over three years, and recently the remote key suddenly became less responsive. After checking, it turned out the battery was dead. This car key uses a CR2032 battery, the flat round coin-shaped type. Changing it yourself is super easy - just use a coin or small screwdriver to pry open the shell from the side gap and replace it, remembering to place the new battery with the printed side facing up. These batteries are available in supermarkets and online stores for just three yuan. If you can't be bothered to do it yourself, the 4S shop will replace it for a few dozen yuan labor fee. Normally you should pay attention - when the remote control distance noticeably shortens or the button indicator light dims, these are signs it's time for a replacement. Keeping a spare battery in the glove compartment is always a good idea. After all, summer heat consumes battery power fastest, so don't wait until it completely fails before getting anxious.

Last week, I just replaced the key for my wife's Borui (Geely Borui), and the model is CR2032. Taking the key apart is super easy—first pull out the mechanical key, then gently pry open the shell along the seam. After removing the old battery, just slot the new one in with the positive side facing up. The whole process takes less than two minutes. This type of battery is available at hardware stores downstairs in our neighborhood, and it’s even cheaper to buy online. I recommend opting for branded ones, like Panasonic, as generic batteries tend to leak within a year. After replacing, take a moment to clean the dust inside the key shell and wipe the metal contacts with a cotton swab for better durability. If the key still doesn’t respond after replacement, it’s best to have the circuit checked at a shop. It’s a good idea to keep a couple of spare batteries in the car, especially for long trips, just for peace of mind.

It's been five years since I started driving the Borui, and I've had to replace the key twice. The CR2032 model is a universal type, but the Borui has high requirements for voltage accuracy. When buying a battery, make sure the nominal voltage is exactly 3V. When opening the key shell, starting from the notch where the key ring is attached is the easiest; you can pry it open with your fingernail. After replacing the battery, you need to re-pair the car key by placing it against the windshield and holding down the lock button for more than ten seconds to let the system recognize it again. Once, I replaced the battery in an underground garage, and it didn't respond at all after replacement, but it worked perfectly as soon as I got to the surface. Turns out, the reinforced concrete was interfering with the signal. Winter is when the battery is most likely to die suddenly, so it's recommended to check it before winter each year. Remember not to drop the key forcefully; if the battery contacts get misaligned from the impact, it's more troublesome than a dead battery.
