Checked against the English BEV manual linked below. China-market reports identify the owner question; they do not establish an export defect, a recall or a guaranteed fix. Match the handbook and equipment in your car, and follow current on-screen instructions where software differs.

THE QUICK ANSWER

Select your bound C10 in the Leapmotor app and open Charging Centre. The export manual lists Schedule battery preheating there. Follow the settings and availability shown for your vehicle, then check that the schedule saved.

The China-market owner report

The winter-use C10 discussion includes a question about where battery preheating is located. The China-market owner’s timing and claimed benefits are not a measured guarantee for export vehicles.

Before you start

This article identifies the documented control, not a hidden service setting. Available scheduling details can vary with app and vehicle software; the checked manual does not prescribe one universal preheating duration.

What to check

1Check the correct vehicleOpen the official app, sign in and select your bound C10. Confirm you are viewing the intended car before sending a command.
2Enter Charging CentreFind the charging functions and locate Schedule battery preheating. Do not substitute the cabin A/C or One-button Preparation control.
3Follow the vehicle’s scheduling promptsSet the offered time and repeat options as displayed. If the function is absent, check model/software applicability with support instead of following a Chinese UI path.
4Verify before your journeyReopen the control to confirm the saved state and check any displayed status or availability message. Cancel a routine you no longer need.

Tick steps as you go. Your progress stays in this tab.

Check the result

A saved battery-preheating schedule is the useful result. It does not promise a particular charging power, winter range or departure temperature; those depend on conditions and the vehicle version.

Common questions

Can I copy the China owner’s exact timing?+

Use the export app’s timing description and your own departure plan; the manual gives no universal duration.

Does a warm cabin prove the battery is preheated?+

No. Cabin preparation and battery preheating are separately listed functions.
