Land Rover Key Fob Battery Replacement

If you’ve recently purchased or leased a new Land Rover vehicle, you know that it comes with a Land Rover key fob. When your Range Rover key battery is lower, your instrument panel will display the message, “SMART KEY BATTERY LOW,” meaning that it’s time to get a new one. Read this guide by the Land Rover Manhattan service center experts to learn how to open your Land Rover key fob and how to perform a Land Rover key fob battery replacement. 

How to Replace a Land Rover Key Fob Battery 

The Land Rover key fob battery is a CR2032 type battery that’s available at any hardware store in the Fort Lee and Englewood areas. If you have any trouble finding a battery, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our parts center for assistance. Once you’ve secured the battery, follow these steps to replace your Range Rover key battery. 

1. Dismantle the Key Fob: To access the Land Rover key fob battery, you’ll need to take the key fob apart. Locate the small black button on the key fob, press down on it, and this will release the metal emergency key blade from the plastic box. You may find that your specific Land Rover key may have a slidable key that can be easily removed. 
2. Open the Key Fob: Use the key blade itself or a small screwdriver to pop open the black box to locate the battery. 
3. Replace the Range Rover Key: Utilize a small instrument like a screwdriver to remove the battery and replace it with a new one. Be sure to have the positive (+) side facing up. Try not to touch the new battery as the moisture and oil from your fingers can corrode the material and negatively affect the battery’s life. 
4. Reassemble the Key: To put the key fob back together, simply reverse the process that you followed to dismantle it. You should then have a fully operational Land Rover key fob. If you notice that your display still stays that you need a Land Rover key fob battery replacement, the replacement battery may not be brand new.

Additional Ways to Care for Your Land Rover Key

You can keep your Land Rover smart key in good condition when you take heed to the tips below:

• Keep Your Key Out of the Heat – On extremely hot and sunny days in The Bronx, you’ll want to keep your Land Rover key away from open windows as the heat can damage it. Dust and humidity can also deteriorate the lifespan of your Land Rover key. 
• Try to Avoid Radio Frequencies: If you happen to be around technology that uses radio frequencies, like medical equipment, this can sometimes affect the performance of your smart key. 
• Replace All Batteries at Once: Once you notice your panel displaying the  “SMART KEY BATTERY LOW” message, it’s important to replace the batteries on all of the smart keys for your car. Not doing so can permanently damage the Land Rover key fob.
