What is the battery model for the Nissan X-Trail car key?
3 Answers
The battery model for the Nissan X-Trail car key is CR2032. CR2032 is a lithium manganese dioxide battery, named according to the IEC standard. The breakdown is as follows: C - Indicates a chemical battery system with lithium metal as the negative electrode and manganese dioxide as the positive electrode. R - Indicates the battery shape is cylindrical; if it were square, F would be used instead. 20 - Indicates the battery diameter is 20mm. 32 - Represents the battery height of 3.2mm. The nominal voltage is 3.0V, the endpoint voltage is 2.0V, and the rated capacity ranges from 200-240mAh, varying by manufacturer. The shelf life of CR2032 is typically 5 years. If the manufacturer's production level is low or quality control is poor, the lifespan can be significantly shortened. Domestic first-tier brands can generally guarantee this lifespan. Under ideal conditions (sealed, room temperature, no moisture, etc.), the lifespan can extend to 8 years or even 10 years. For the Nissan X-Trail models such as the Fashion Edition, Comfort Edition, and Luxury Edition, the key battery model is CR2032. Replacing the key battery involves just three steps: Step 1: Remove the mechanical key. Press the lock button on the side of the smart key to remove the mechanical key. Step 2: Open the battery cover. After removing the mechanical key, you will see a deep slot and a shallow slot at the top of the smart key. The deep slot is the keyhole, while the shallow slot is used to open the battery cover. Insert the mechanical key into the shallow slot and pry it open to reveal the coin battery. Gently remove the battery. Step 3: Replace the battery. Install the new battery, then reattach the battery cover and mechanical key in order. The key battery replacement is now complete. Two important notes when replacing the Nissan X-Trail car key battery: The key uses a coin battery, model CR2032. Make sure not to buy the wrong type. Replace the battery quickly, as the key has a memory function. If it loses power for more than 5 minutes, it will need to be reprogrammed.
Last time my Nissan X-Trail car key ran out of battery, I went directly to a convenience store. The clerk said a CR2032 battery would work. When opening the key shell, I used a flathead screwdriver to gently pry it open, then inserted the battery with the positive side facing up. After replacement, I tested the unlock button and it worked fine. These batteries are available at supermarkets or hardware stores for just a few yuan each. I specifically checked car owner forums - both older and newer X-Trail keys generally use this battery type. Just be careful not to accidentally buy the 2025 model instead. It's good to keep a few spares in the glove compartment so you won't need to rush to a repair shop if the battery dies unexpectedly.
Last time I replaced the battery for my friend's X-Trail car key, I found the original one was a CR2032 coin battery. To replace it, you need to first pull out the mechanical key and use a plastic pry tool to open the back cover of the key shell. Remember to install the new battery with the positive side facing up - putting it in backwards will cause poor contact. I bought a Panasonic brand battery at the auto parts market, which works well and costs just over ten yuan, lasting about two years. If you notice the remote control distance getting shorter, it's a sign that the battery is running low and needs replacement.
