Jeep Grand Cherokee Key Fob Battery Type and Replacement

Each row links to the full specification for that generation, including trim-by-trim breakdowns and the part numbers. Where engines within a generation differ, that page separates them.

The key fob battery on a Jeep Grand Cherokee is set by its generation, not its model year, so each generation has one page carrying the complete figures, part numbers and fitment notes for every year it covers.

What battery does the Jeep Grand Cherokee key fob take?

A single CR2450 coin cell.

Can you use a CR2032 instead of a CR2025 in a Jeep Grand Cherokee key fob?

This fob takes a CR2450, so start there. The two cells share a 20 mm diameter but differ in thickness, and the thicker one does not always seat in a housing built for the thinner.

How do you open a Jeep Grand Cherokee key fob?

Slide out the mechanical emergency key first, which usually releases a catch, then part the halves with a plastic pry tool or a coin wrapped in tape. A screwdriver will mark the case and can crack the seam.
