i havent done/tried this myself but i'm fairly sure its a simple watch-type battery that you can easily replace yourself. don't go to the stealership, they'll charge you an arm and a leg for a battery that you can pick up at walgreens for 4 bucks

[skiski329]

read your owners manual!!!!!!!!

[adidas2go]

Why would you need to change it already? Its fully rechargable in the car. The is a slot you stick it into close to your left knee on that lower panel of the dash and it recharges it.

[mcheddadi]

I read somewhere that it's only a key holder, and that it doesn't recharge anything...

[altimacoupelvr]

my dealership said they replace it for 7 dollars.

[johnny_d]

I heard u put it in there to start the car when the battery goes dead but nothing about charging it

[kuhan]

Yup I heard the same

[skiski329]

you can not charge it like that

[adidas2go]

? my dealership lied to me

you mean stealership

[adidas2go]

you mean stealership

absolutley

[altimacoupelvr]

yeah when the key goes dead...you stick the key in the slot by your left knew and it overides the whole system allowing it to start up so you can get to the dealership and get a new battery. thats why there is a key in your fob too so you can open the door in the event the fob goes dead.

[team_work]

yea its only for when its dying, doesnt charge it. the battery is a watch battery. get it from walmart. im pretty sure that in the owners manual it tell you exactly what to do and what type of battery it is.

[adidas2go]

has anyone actually had this battery go dead yet?

My dealer told me that too, my brother has a Lexus 430 almost the same type of key and the Lexus dealer told him that too...So its just stupid salesman in general

Not to belittle the all Nissan sales people but it seems to me that in most all dealerhips the turnover of the salesforce is substantial. I would think that it takes quite a bit of effort and time to learn just the MAJOR points of each car line then to sort out all the little options of all the different models that dealer may carry. If you don't stick with a brand long enough you will never learn the little details. For their part the sales people should QUIT making S**T up and say they don't know and offer to find out the right answer.If I pulled that line of crap in my job I would be sue for malpractice.

[richwhat425]

thanx guys. u've all been very helpful. thank God inhad and extra set of keys so im using that one for the time being. but am gonna change the battery myself asap

[LongBeachCoupe]

Are you guys serious? You thought it would charge the battery in the remote? How?! see any contacts on the remote? is it AMPS thru OSMOSIS? lol... I bet you believed the dealer when he said it would come with a full trunk net too lol..

It's called electromagnetic induction.http://www.patentstorm.us/pate....html

Would've been cool if Nissan could've figured this out. Even cooler if they provided a manual ignition key as backup.

I just got a low battery warning last night, 10 months into ownership. So much for the "typical 2 years before replacement" statement offered up by Nissan.

I believe the battery is a CR3032.

[northshore]

I believe the battery is a CR3032.

I do believe that is the typical watch battery. Small circular one that looks like an advil?

[CPS]

It is a circular battery, little bit smaller than a nickel.

Another place to pick up a battery would be your local jeweler/watchmaker.I keep a dozen in stock for watches, heart monitors and customers key fobs. Replaced batteries in GM, Nissan, BMW and MB fobs.Bruce MacDonald

go to home depot/lowes, they sell those batteries cheaper then anywhere else.
