The key fob battery only charges while it's in the key dock, and then only if the fob is inserted buttons upwards. If the spare has remained unused for a long time, then it's possible for the battery to go flat, which means it won't send the open signal to the receiver in the car. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Soon to be sold. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate on order. Gone. 2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. |

I have just ordered two key fobs that have replaceable batteries 2032s in them. That should make things easier than having soldered in batteries |

Can I asked where you ordered them from and do they have to be programmed in before use |

Someone on ebay was selling them. I managed to grab one before they sold out, so I searched found and ordered another two from Aliexpress. They are programmable using the Autel AP200

The photos of the fob in the link posted looks nothing like my 2010 fob. Can't comment on later versions. I don't think the 2032 batteries will be 're chargeable. Think you could be barking up the wrong tree...... Good luck, please let us know how you get on. |

Grimdog. I wonder how is your keyfob different, is it the case or the internals, The 2032 batteries are not rechargeable, they are replaceable and the firmware still works after replacement. |

Some confusion here I think. The OP said his car is 2010, same as mine. My fob doesn't have the hazard button shown on your image Chips. Mine is the rechargeable version same as OP. |

I see what you mean now. Interesting the pre 2010 fob doesn't have the panic alarm button, didn't know that. |

I believe the panic button is model specific.
