Oct 11, 2026, 6:05 PMMy car has a key that has a non-replaceable battery. When it runs out, it’s trash. Replacement is a few hundred euro, lasts about 3 years.
Last year I opened it and desoldered the dead cell battery. That worked, but sadly I damaged the case.
Today, I fixed that.
Behold: the pink case that is easy to open (and replace). Def not waterproof, but should keep this thing running for a while yet.
The screws need replacing but I had no other M3 thread ones.
