Renault Kadjar. The battery inside the key card is a CR2025. Could I use a Duracell CR2032 battery instead? Thanks all

I do not no for sure, but if it is the right size of battery Duracell should work, and they are a good make.

The last 2 digits of a CR battery indicate its height (thickness): a CR2025 is 2.5mm high, a CR2032 is 3.2mm high and may therefore be too thick to fit in the key card.

Well it fits, and works, but"low key battery" is still appearing in the dashboard....

From this rather useful link, you will see that they should be interchangeable (given thickness isn't a problem). So, are you sure that the 2032 is "fresh"...ie isn't old, which could mean it's not got that much power left?
