Replacement Key Battery VL2020 Fit for BMW 1 3 5 6 7 Series E90 E92 E93 Entry Keyless Remote Smart Remote Control Key Fob

Worked perfectly for BMW key fob 👍

The battery is the exact same that was removed from the fob. The difference was the height of the prongs to be soldered in. This was a very simple job. What I did was wedge a small screwdriver between the battery and circuit board to split apart as I heated the existing solder points. The original came out with ease l, leaving enough behind to put in the new. With the prongs a little high, I snipped the top so they wouldn't interfere with the top (button side) of the fob. I then positioned the new batter prongs just under the soldering points where they were just inside the board only. With a little pressure, heated up each point again soldering the replacement battery prongs in place. There was a small gap between the board, so I took some small needle nose pliers squeezing the battery to the board. (Pliers were on top of soldering points). The prongs bent slightlly resulting in a flush install. If you don't do this you'll have negative pressure from the contact point and the battery likely ripping it off over time. Additionally, I reused the black sticker on the factory battery to ensure no electrical contact with the circuit board. I then sealed it with liquid electrical tape (basically black rubbery-plasticy glue) and clamped it until cured. All is well! Hope the battery lasts 8 yrs like the original.

Worked on my e90 bmw 328i. No issues since installing just make sure you solder it correctly and your remote works before adhering it back together. NOTE: make sure both prongs are soldered in right or else there will be times your remote will not work! This happened before and I thought it was the battery’s fault but it was just because of a loose prong. Hardly even noticeable but enough to lose connection with the vehicle from minor movement!! Always check 100% before permanently sealing up your remote.

Didn't work for me. I soldered it in and had to glue my key back closed. But it never worked. I didn't feel like cutting the key back open to send it back. Its dangerous trying to cut it open with a razor

Correct battery had to adjust the tab a little Arrived with no charge ugh 0Volts Maybe it will charge?

Perfect fit for my 2009 BMW 328I key fob Easy to Install with soldering iron, took 10 mins.

If you do not have a soldering iron and can solder 1/2-way decently, this is not the battery for you - and you need to have someone who fixes cell phones swap your battery out. IF you know how to solder, the entire process takes about 15-20 minutes and the battery is a perfect match. The pins are polarized / keyed (meaning: one is pin-style, the other is blade-style - which means you cannot accidentally install the battery backwards - the pin/blade perfectly match the original battery posts which get soldered the circuit board). You will need to take a razor (utility knife) and start separating the original key fob on the key end, then gently separate the case halves w/ a small flathead screwdriver (the case halves are glued together - so either be prepared to re-glue them w/ superglue, or better yet - pay $12 and get a brand new key fob case (which snaps open/closed) - search Amazon for the description listed below). Desolder the old battery and resolder on the new one ... the battery will likely come UNcharged (dead) and you will need to put it in your key fob socket and drive around for 30 minutes to charge it. There is also a Youtube video which shows this process. new key fob case (includes BMW logo): "(Just a key Shell) NEW Replacement Car Smart Key Keyless Entry Remote Key Shell Case for BMW 525i 325i M6 M5 650i 550i 128i 135i 328i 328xi 330Ci 330xi 335i 1 3 5 7 X5 X6 KR55WK49127"

Yes, you have to cut open the key fob. Yes you have to solder out the old and solder in this one. Yes you need to reprogram your key to the vehicle IF the battery has been dead for a while. Yes you have to glue the key fob back together. Youtube will really help for this. Still beats the dealer, getting the lazer key cut for 16 times the price of this.

For those people who install and the fob still does not work. You should try to find a procedure for your car to Re-initialize the key with the car. I had the same problem. I thought my fob is not working with the new battery. But I had to initialize it to my Mini with few steps with the ignition.

Worked perfectly

I purchased other batteries of this model from other sellers and they came discharged and wouldn't even charge to 3V. This battery came fully charged at 3V and worked right away when soldered into my BMW key! Now I can use my fob again!

Rechargeable batteryThis looks a bit different than the one I had in my key fob, but I guess it supposed to do the same thing as my old one. Nevertheless it did not work.
