2 Answers
Here are the steps to replace the battery in the smart key of a Leopaard CS10: 1. Remove the mechanical key: On the back of the smart key, there is a switch. Press the switch and pull the side where the keychain can be attached to remove the mechanical key. 2. Open the smart key: Prepare a small screwdriver. At the other end of the mechanical key slot, there is a small service hole. Insert the screwdriver into the hole to pry open the outer shell of the smart key. 3. Now you can see the key battery. Replace it with the same model of smart key battery. The CS10 key uses a CR2032 battery. 4. Reassemble in reverse order and test it.
My Leopaard CS10 car key ran out of battery before, and replacing the battery myself was actually quite simple. First, locate the small groove on the side of the key and use a coin or a small flathead screwdriver to pry open the casing. Note that keys come in folding and flat versions—folding ones require removing the mechanical key. Once opened, you'll see the button battery; remember its orientation before removing it. For the new battery, it's recommended to buy the CR2032 model, available at supermarkets or hardware stores for around 10 yuan. When installing, place the side with the text facing up and snap it into the slot until you hear a click. Align the casing and press it firmly shut, and don’t forget to test if the lock button responds. Doing it myself saved me 80 yuan in labor fees at the 4S shop. For the battery, remember to choose brands like Panasonic or ChuanYing, as others may leak.
