Will This Battery Fit Your QX60 Key Fob?
Infiniti says its Intelligent Key uses a CR2032. Fobs differ by key type, so make a quick check before you order.
Infiniti’s parts guide says a standard (non-Intelligent) key fob uses a CR2025 instead. The two are not interchangeable: a CR2025 is 2.5mm thick and a CR2032 is 3.2mm thick. The model list in the ZIWLU listing is the listing’s own claim; confirm it against your owner’s manual.

QX60 Key Fob Battery Replacement Difficulty
This is an easy DIY job. You need a small flat screwdriver and a careful hand when opening the case. The hardest parts are picking the right cell and avoiding scratches on the housing. Tap a slice to highlight it.
- 35% Opening the case
- 15% Swapping the cell
- 30% Choosing the correct battery
- 20% Polarity, seating & testing
The difficulty score and effort split are an editorial estimate based on the documented QX60 fob design, not an official rating. Replacing the battery in a working fob does not clear its original programming.
How to Replace Your QX60 Key Fob Battery
Tap each step to tick it off as you go. Steps follow Infiniti’s parts guidance and a detailed 2020 QX60 walkthrough.
- 1Remove the mechanical keySlide the small release switch on the back of the fob toward the edge and, while holding it, pull the metal key out of its slot.
- 2Open the caseWrap the tip of a small flat screwdriver in tape or thin cloth. Insert it into one of the two small slots near the key slot and twist gently. If needed, move to the other slot and work along the seam. Avoid excessive force.
- 3Swap the batteryPry the old coin cell out of its holder with the screwdriver tip. Fit the new CR2032 so the positive (+) side faces down into the socket and the negative (−) side faces up. Press it in until it is fully seated.
- 4Close the caseLine up both halves and press them together until every edge sits flush. Slide the mechanical key back in until it clicks.
- 5Test the fobStand near the vehicle and press lock and unlock. On the documented QX60, the parking lights flash and the locks respond when the new battery works.
Check that the cell is the correct type, the polarity matches the marking inside your fob, the battery is fully seated and the case is fully closed. Infiniti notes that a fob that keeps malfunctioning after a battery change may need replacing.

QX60 Key Fob Battery: FAQ
What battery does an Infiniti QX60 key fob use?
Infiniti’s parts guide says its Intelligent Key uses a CR2032, and the 2020 QX60 fob in a detailed walkthrough came with a Maxell CR2032H. Confirm the type in your owner’s manual or on the cell inside your fob before buying.
How many batteries does the fob need?
The documented 2020 QX60 fob uses one coin cell. The ZIWLU listing is a 2-pack, which gives you one spare.
Can I use a CR2032 if my fob has a CR2032H?
Both are 3V and 20mm by 3.2mm. The CR2032H is Maxell’s higher-capacity version, rated 240 mAh against 220 mAh for Maxell’s standard CR2032.
Do I need to reprogram the key after changing the battery?
No. Changing the battery in an existing, working fob does not clear its original programming.
Is the CR2032 rechargeable?
No. A standard CR2032 is a primary (single-use) lithium/manganese dioxide cell and must not be recharged.
Can I use a CR2025 instead?
No. Both are 3V and 20mm wide, but a CR2025 is 2.5mm thick and a CR2032 is 3.2mm thick. Use the type your fob specifies.
How long will the battery last in the fob?
No verified runtime figure exists for this ZIWLU product. Infiniti says strong radio waves, high heat and extreme cold can shorten key battery life.
How should I dispose of a used CR2032?
Do not put it in household trash or recycling bins. Cover the terminals with non-conductive tape and take it to a battery collection point. Keep used cells away from children.
