This automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist owners of the second generation 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 Nissan Qashqai and the 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 Nissan Rogue Sport (USA) in changing a weak or dead coin cell battery in the switchblade style key fob remote control for the keyless entry system.

Owners of other Nissan, Infiniti or related Renault vehicles such as the Rogue, X-Trail, Note, Versa, Altima, Maxima, Sentra, Juke, Kicks, Murano, Pathfinder, Armada, Frontier, Titan, Quest, NV200, Q50, Q60, QX50, QX60, QX80 and Renault Kadjar may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

The compatible replacement coin cell (also known as a "button" or "watch") battery is part number CR2032 H (also known as CR2032H) which are available from various manufacturers such as Maxell, Duracell, Panasonic, Sony and Energizer.

If you can't find a CR2032 H battery, you can also use the standard CR2032 which is the same size and the only difference is that it has a slightly lower nominal capacity.

The CR2032 H battery has a 240 mAh capacity while the CR2032 has a 220 mAh capacity. So you might have to replace the CR2032 a year or two earlier compared to the CR2032 H.

The only tool needed to access and replace the battery is a flat head screwdriver.

The first step is to separate your home key and other keys from the fob.

Note - If your Qashqai or Rogue Sport is equipped with the smart proximity sensing key fob and a "Start / Stop" push button ignition system, please take a look at my Nissan Intelligent Key Fob Battery Replacement Guide.

Lift off the top cover of the fob that contains the buttons and the remote control unit.

Set aside the top part of the fob in a safe place.

Test New Fob Battery
Gently pop together the two halves of the fob.

Make sure the top and bottom parts of the fob are flush together at every edge.

To test the new battery, stand near your SUV and press the "Unlock" or "Lock" buttons.

If the new battery is working properly, you should see the parking lights flash or hear the door locks opening and closing.

Don't forget to write down the battery change in your vehicle's service records.

(Just changing the battery shouldn't clear the original programming from the factory. You shouldn't have to re-program the key fob.)
