How to Replace a Battery in a Hyundai Key Fob

If your Hyundai key fob has stopped working, there’s a good chance the battery simply needs to be replaced. Luckily, this is a relatively easy task that you can do yourself in just a few minutes. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the entire process, from start to finish.

What You’ll Need

Before you begin, gather the following items:

A small flathead screwdriver or a coin
A new CR2032 battery (this is the most common type of battery used in Hyundai key fobs)

Step-by-Step Guide to Hyundai Key Fob Battery Replacement

Here’s how to change the battery in your Hyundai key fob:

Locate the release button or notch on your key fob. This is usually located on the back or side of the fob.
Use the flathead screwdriver or coin to gently pry open the key fob. Start by inserting the screwdriver or coin into the release notch and gently twisting it. The key fob should pop open easily.
Carefully separate the two halves of the key fob. Be careful not to touch any of the internal components.
Locate the battery. It will be a small, round, silver battery labeled “CR2032.”
Gently remove the old battery. You can use your fingernail or the edge of the screwdriver to pry it out.
Insert the new battery. Make sure the positive (+) side of the battery is facing up.
Align the two halves of the key fob and snap them back together. You should hear a click when they are securely fastened.
Test your key fob to make sure it is working properly.

Troubleshooting

If your key fob is still not working after replacing the battery, here are a few things you can try:

Check the battery orientation. Make sure the positive (+) side is facing up.
Clean the battery contacts. Use a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol to clean the contacts on the battery and inside the key fob.
Try reprogramming your key fob. You can find instructions on how to do this in your owner’s manual or online.

Why Choosing the Right Battery Matters

Using the correct battery type for your Hyundai key fob is essential for optimal performance. A CR2032 battery is the standard for most Hyundai models, but it’s always a good idea to double-check your owner’s manual or look for the battery type printed on your existing key fob battery.

“Using a mismatched battery can lead to power inconsistencies and potentially damage your key fob,” warns John Smith, Senior Automotive Technician at Car Tech Solutions. “Always stick to the recommended CR2032 battery to avoid any issues.”
