I also got this graphic a week ago, and I have only 2 yrs and 3 weeks on my LEAF. I have replaced the battery, using the instructions in the Maintenance section of the main Leaf manual. Look for "Intelligent Key battery replacement"mwalsh said:...your car lets you know:
That's 2.5 years on this fob battery. I've switched to the second fob for a while and have put the replacement on my to-do list.

The battery is a 2025. $4.50 for a pair at Lowes

Or $1.00 apiece as my wife proved to me by getting one at a place I thought I would never go to -- Dollar Tree.tbleakne said:The battery is a 2025. $4.50 for a pair at Lowes.

redLEAF said:It is great that the car 'tells' you it's time but looks like it only lasts a little over 2 years -- one thing we didn't ask is how sensitive is the car to how much voltage the battery needs to work? I typically would check the DC volts for the battery using a digital meter and for instance the 'old' battery in my smart still shows 3V; what did your LEAF fob battery show?

malloryk said:My first fob just died last night... after I accidentally locked the keys in the car. Doh! Luckily it happened after I arrived home and my landlady was in to give me a spare house key. The spare fob seems to be working fine but I guess I'll go buy a couple batteries this weekend so I'm covered.
A big thank you to your wife, Ray, and to you for sharing the great low cost battery source!planet4ever said:Or $1.00 apiece as my wife proved to me by getting one at a place I thought I would never go to -- Dollar Tree.tbleakne said:The battery is a 2025. $4.50 for a pair at Lowes.

smkettner said:I had a 2032 so I popped it in. Works fine so far.

Since Dollar Tree only had CR2032, and both smkettner and JimSouCal had reported the CR2032 would work in the LEAF fob, I tried it.JimSouCal said:I had the Nissan 2 year battery check and service update, and had a CR2032 with me as the dash annunciator was warning me the FOB battery was low. At first they didn't want to put it in due to the differing numbers, but yep, it works.
