What Kind of Battery for 2014 Toyota Camry Key Fob?

If you’re driving a 2014 Toyota Camry, chances are you haven’t given your key fob battery much thought—until it dies, of course! A dead key fob battery can leave you stranded, so it’s essential to know what type of battery your key fob needs and how to replace it.

Fortunately, replacing the battery in your 2014 Toyota Camry key fob is a quick and easy process. In this article, we’ll cover everything you need from identifying the correct battery type to step-by-step replacement instructions.

What Battery Does My 2014 Toyota Camry Key Fob Use?

The 2014 Toyota Camry key fob uses a CR2032 battery, a common type of lithium coin battery. These batteries are readily available at most hardware stores, auto parts stores, and online retailers.

Pro Tip from John Davis, Senior Auto Technician: “Always opt for a name-brand battery like Duracell or Energizer for your key fob. While generic brands might be tempting, they often have a shorter lifespan, potentially leaving you stranded again sooner.”
