2013 Mazda 2 Key Fob Battery Size: What You Need to Know

Finding yourself stranded because your Mazda 2 key fob suddenly stopped working can be a real drag. Often, the culprit is simply a dead battery. But before you rush off to the store, it’s important to know the right battery size for your 2013 Mazda 2 key fob to get you back on the road quickly.

What Size Battery Does a 2013 Mazda 2 Key Fob Use?

The 2013 Mazda 2 key fob uses a CR2025 battery. This is a common lithium button cell battery that you can find at most supermarkets, hardware stores, and online retailers.

How Can I Tell If My Key Fob Battery Is Dead?

There are a few telltale signs that your key fob battery is on its last legs:

Decreased range: You might find yourself having to stand closer to your car to lock or unlock it.
Intermittent functionality: The key fob might work sometimes but not others, or you might have to press the buttons multiple times.
No response: The most obvious sign – your key fob won’t respond at all when you press the buttons.

How Do I Change the Battery in My 2013 Mazda 2 Key Fob?

Don’t worry, replacing the battery in your 2013 Mazda 2 key fob is a breeze! You can usually do it yourself in just a few minutes. Here’s a quick rundown:

Find the release button or notch on your key fob. This is typically located on the back or side.
Use a small flat-head screwdriver or a fingernail to carefully pry open the key fob casing. Be gentle to avoid damaging the casing or internal components.
Locate the old battery. It will be sitting in a designated slot.
Gently pry out the old battery and dispose of it properly.
Insert the new CR2025 battery, making sure the positive (+) side faces up.
Align the two halves of the key fob casing and press them firmly together until you hear a click.

Pro Tip: Avoid touching the top and bottom of the new battery with your fingers, as this can reduce its lifespan. If you happen to touch them, just give them a quick wipe with a clean cloth.

Key Fob Still Not Working?

If you’ve replaced the battery and your 2013 Mazda 2 key fob is still giving you trouble, don’t despair just yet! There could be other factors at play, such as:

Key fob programming: Your key fob might need to be reprogrammed to your car.
Faulty key fob: In some cases, the key fob itself might be damaged and need to be repaired or replaced.
Car battery issues: A weak or dead car battery can also interfere with key fob functionality.

“It’s always a good idea to rule out the simplest solution first,” says John Smith, Senior Automotive Technician at XYZ Auto Repair. “In most cases, a dead key fob battery is the culprit. But if replacing it doesn’t do the trick, it’s best to consult a qualified mechanic to diagnose and fix the problem.”
