Hi everyone does anyone know of hand what battery is used in the key fob. I should know I took the key apart a few weeks ago and spent 10 mins getting it back together. I will pull it apart again if required but i've also found its best to open these things up as few times as possible or perhaps I am just to cautious.

Found it all, Its a CR2032

The cell in a 2008 flip key isn’t a 2032. It’s a rechargeable battery that’s soldered onto the board.

It’s a VL2330 from memory.

Update - here’s the link to the kit I bought to refurbish mine.

The battery is a sod to get off the board as it needs to be unclipped and unsoldered at the same time.

Apologies all. The key I have with the car is an after market key. Although I looked up the so called battery on EBAY. sorry not your link @dhallwork my own detective work ! I have just stripped the key and found a CR1632 inside not the EBAY solution. I have recently purchased the car, I will replace the battery and see how long it lasts. I need to buy a second key anyway...... Any suggestions? where to buy. I understand the OEM keys are quite expensive.

BTW the battery is not soldered to the board on this one and there is a kill switch under the steering wheel which appears to disable the alarm .... thats on the delete mod list

Thanks @dhalworth for the info on the Ebay link. I need a full new key although I have an original fob with no key stock. In fact I haven't opened that one.... it works... I need to think this through all...Anyone know where `i will get a key shaft cut?I will keep you posted on a solution. I now know someone who may know ....

My 2008 Tdv8 key battery is induction charged via the ignition switch. Would yours be the same? John

The short answer is I don't know, hopefully. I will use the original board / battery and see if I have any more issues. Thanks for the info  Willie

Make sure and only fit a Duracell battery to the key as others makes on my other car keys don’t seem to last.
