If you’re a proud owner of a 2015 Nissan, you know how important your key fob is for seamless everyday driving. But like any electronic device, it relies on a battery that can eventually wear out. When that happens, knowing the right battery model number for your key fob can save you time, money, and a whole lot of frustration.
Let’s dive into the specifics of the 2015 Nissan key fob battery, including how to identify the correct model number, where to find it, and how to replace it yourself.
What Battery Does a 2015 Nissan Key Fob Use?
While it might seem simple, identifying the correct battery for your 2015 Nissan key fob requires understanding a couple of things:
Different Key Fob Styles:
Not all 2015 Nissan models use the same key fob. Some might have a traditional flip key, while others feature a push-button start smart key. The type of key fob determines the battery you need.
Finding Your Key Fob Model Number:
There are a few easy ways to determine your key fob model:
- Check Your Owner’s Manual: Your Nissan owner’s manual is the most reliable source for information about your vehicle, including the key fob model and battery type.
- Inspect Your Key Fob: Often, the key fob itself will have markings indicating the model number. Look for subtle engravings or stickers, usually on the back or inside the battery compartment.
- Contact Your Nissan Dealership: If the first two options fail, your local Nissan dealership can provide the correct key fob information based on your VIN number.
Common 2015 Nissan Key Fob Battery Model Numbers
Once you’ve identified your key fob model, finding the battery model number is easy. Here are some of the most common battery types for 2015 Nissan key fobs:
- CR2025: This is a widely used lithium battery, commonly found in slimmer key fobs.
- CR2032: This battery is slightly larger than the CR2025 and is used in key fobs with more advanced features, like push-button start.
