Follow this guide to remove or replace the battery in a Keychron K10 Max Wireless mechanical keyboard.
The battery powers the keyboard during wireless use and allows it to operate without being connected by a USB-C cable. If the keyboard loses charge quickly, will not turn on in wireless mode, shuts off unexpectedly, or has a swollen or damaged battery, the battery may need to be replaced.
Caution: If the battery is extremely hot, swollen, puffy, or emits a strange odor, do not attempt to remove it. Swollen batteries present a higher risk of fire or explosion, and the fumes may be harmful if inhaled. Review the What to Do with a Swollen Battery guide for more information.
Before you begin the repair, turn off the keyboard and unplug any cables. Be careful when handling the battery, and avoid bending, crushing, or puncturing it during removal.
