Does anything need to be done after you put in a new battery?
Both of mine give me the low battery warning and I replaced 1 remote so far and the car thinks it's dead. I used Energizer brand and thought they would be reliable vs. no name or HF.
This is what the 2015 owners manual cautions about what can damage the Intelligent Keys:
"To avoid damaging it, please note the
following.
• The Intelligent Key is water resistant;
however, wetting may damage the In-
telligent Key. If the Intelligent Key gets
wet, immediately wipe until it is com-
pletely dry.
• Do not bend, drop or strike it against
another object.
• If the outside temperature is below
14°F (-10°C) degrees, the battery of the
intelligent key may not function prop-
erly.
• Do not place the Intelligent Key for an
extended period in a place where tem-
peratures exceed 140°F (60°C).
• Do not change or modify the Intelligent
Key.
• Do not use a magnet key holder.
Do not place the Intelligent Key near
an electric appliance such as a televi-
sion set, personal computer or cellular
phone.
• Do not allow the Intelligent Key to
come into contact with water or salt
water, and do not wash it in a washing
machine. This could affect the system
function."
NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEY BATTERY REPLACEMENT is covered in section 8 of your owners manual on page 19 and its pretty straight forward:
"CAUTION
• Be careful not to allow children to
swallow the battery and removed
parts.
• An improperly disposed battery can
harm the environment. Always confirm
local regulations for battery disposal.
• When changing batteries, do not let
dust or oil get on the components.
• There is danger of explosion if the
lithium battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equiva-
lent type.
Replace the battery in the Intelligent Key as fol-
lows:
1. Remove the mechanical key from the Intelli-
gent Key.
2. Insert a small screwdriver into the slit of the
corner and twist it to separate the upper part
from the lower part. Use a cloth to protect the
casing.
3. Replace the battery with a new one.
Recommended battery:
CR2025 or equivalent
• Do not touch the internal circuit and electric
terminals as doing so could cause a malfunc-
tion.
• Hold the battery by the edges. Holding the
battery across the contact points will seri-
ously deplete the storage capacity.
• Make sure that the + side faces the bottom
of the case.
4. Align the tips of the upper and lower parts 1,
and then push them together until it is
securely closed.
5. Operate the buttons to check that it is func-
tioning properly.
See a NISSAN certified LEAF dealer if you need
any assistance for replacement."
