In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about your 2020 Hyundai Key Fob Battery, from identifying the signs of a dying battery to replacing it yourself.

Signs Your 2020 Hyundai Key Fob Battery Needs Replacing

Recognizing the warning signs can save you time and frustration. Here are a few telltale signs that your key fob battery might be on its way out:

Decreased Signal Range: Are you noticing that you need to be closer to your car for the key fob to unlock it? A weak battery means a weaker signal.
Intermittent Functioning: Is your key fob working sporadically? One day it works fine, the next it takes multiple attempts. This inconsistency is a strong sign of a fading battery.
Dashboard Warning Light: Some Hyundai models display a warning light on the dashboard specifically indicating a low key fob battery. Keep an eye out for this helpful alert.

What Battery Does My 2020 Hyundai Key Fob Use?

Most 2020 Hyundai key fobs use a standard CR2032 battery. These are readily available at most supermarkets, drugstores, and electronics shops, as well as online.

Replacing Your 2020 Hyundai Key Fob Battery: A Step-by-Step Guide

Replacing the battery in your 2020 Hyundai key fob is a simple DIY task. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Locate the Key Fob’s Release Button: Look for a small button or switch on the back of your key fob. This releases the physical key.
Remove the Physical Key: Press the release button and gently slide the physical key out of the key fob.
Pry Open the Key Fob: Use a small flathead screwdriver or a coin to carefully pry open the key fob casing at the designated seam.
Identify and Remove the Old Battery: The CR2032 battery will be clearly visible. Gently remove it by prying it up from the positive (+) side.
Insert the New Battery: Place the new CR2032 battery in the same orientation as the old one, positive (+) side facing up.
Reassemble the Key Fob: Align the halves of the key fob and press them together until you hear a click, indicating the casing is secure.
Test Your Key Fob: Make sure all the buttons on your key fob are functioning correctly, including locking, unlocking, and panicking.
