I did the same a couple of years ago. The new Duracell did not work in the Leaf key fob but was sufficient enough for a digital tire pressure gauge. Different manufacturers tweak their designs for specific applications. The best batteries for key fobs seem to be Energizers.I just went through a key fob battery replacement exercise. New Duracell 2025 did NOT work! Rayovac 2025 did.
Buy batteries from stores that have a rapid turnover. The last ones you want are those that have sat in storage for a few years.
One more thing. Random radio waves can interfere with key fobs. If your key fob acts up every time you visit a particular location something is generating RF noise.
