How to Replace a Land Rover Key Fob Battery 

Replacing this battery requires learning how to open your Land Rover key fob. The Land Rover key fob battery is a CR2032 type battery, which is available at any hardware store in Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, and the surrounding areas. After purchasing a new battery, follow these steps: 

1. Release the Key: Open the key fob to access the battery. Locate the small black button on the plastic fob and press it to release the metal emergency key blade. Keep in mind that some Land Rover keys feature easy-to-remove slide-able keys. 
2. Open the Key Fob: Use the key blade to pop open the fob’s black box and take out the battery. You can also use a small screwdriver to gain battery access. 
3. Replace the Land Rover Key Fob Battery: Replace the old battery with the new one using a small screwdriver or other small, applicable instrument. The positive + side of the battery should face up. Refrain from touching the new battery since moisture from your hands can cause corrosion and shorten the battery’s life.
4. Reassemble the Key: Perform the above steps in reverse to put the Land Rover key fob back together. Your fob should work perfectly now; if it doesn’t the new battery is likely faulty.

Land Rover Key Fob Care Tips 

To keep your Land Rover key fob in excellent condition and avoid issues while driving in Bronx or Westchester, remember these tips: 

• Heat and Sun Damage: Do not leave your key fob in direct sunlight to prevent heat damage, such as warped plastic and battery fluid evaporation. 
• Open Windows: Humidity and dust negatively affect your Land Rover key fob, so keep it in a safe place when you aren’t using it. 
• Other Radio Frequencies: Like your key fob, other devices like medical equipment rely on radio frequencies. Such devices can interfere with the battery’s performance. 
• Replacing All the Batteries: When your dashboard panel says “SMART KEY BATTERY LOW”, replace the batteries in all of your Land Rover key fobs. If you do not, you could cause permanent key fob damage.
