What is the battery model for Cadillac key fobs?
3 Answers
Cadillac key fobs use CR2032 batteries or equivalent specifications. Automotive Battery: A battery refers to a cup, tank, or other container (or part of a composite container) containing electrolyte solution and metal electrodes that generates electric current, converting chemical energy into electrical energy. It has positive and negative terminals. Cadillac: Cadillac, a world-renowned luxury automobile brand under General Motors, was born in 1902 (the Year of the Tiger) in Detroit, known as the Motor City of America. Over the past century, Cadillac has created numerous industry firsts and established countless luxury vehicle standards. It can be said that Cadillac's history represents the history of American luxury automobiles.
As a long-time Cadillac owner, I remember that all models use the universal CR2032 coin battery for their key fobs. These batteries are available at supermarkets, convenience stores, or on JD.com, costing just over ten yuan. Last week when my XT5's key fob ran out of power, I replaced it myself: First, use a small screwdriver to pry open the clips on the back of the key fob—be careful not to use excessive force to avoid scratching the casing. When removing the battery, pay attention to the positive and negative polarity; usually, the side with text faces up when installing the new battery. After replacement, remember to test the unlocking function—the whole process takes about three minutes. I recommend choosing Nanfu or Panasonic brands, as their batteries last about two years. If the key fob has a remote start function, the battery drains faster, so it's advisable to replace it as soon as the dashboard indicates low battery.
Having worked at the dealership for so long, I can confirm that all Cadillac models use CR2032 battery for their keys. A friendly reminder to all car owners: plastic pry tools are safer than metal ones when replacing the battery. There's a triangular arrow on the battery compartment indicating the removal direction—never install the negative terminal upside down. I've seen too many cases where people bought CR2025 batteries by mistake and had to make an extra trip. Always check that the packaging clearly states '2032' when purchasing. After installing the new battery, close the key cover until you hear a click to ensure it's properly secured, then press all buttons to confirm the signal. It's recommended to proactively replace the key battery every two years to avoid being stranded due to a completely dead battery.
