🔧 Rogue - Battery Replacement

You have a hybrid, so “battery” could mean the regular 12V battery, the high‑voltage hybrid battery, or the key fob battery. Each is very different for safety and tools.

Difficulty Level: Beginner for 12V or key fob, Advanced for hybrid HV | Estimated Time: 0.25–1 hour (12V or key fob)

⚠️ Safety & Precautions

• ⚠️ On a hybrid like your Rogue, never touch or open any high‑voltage orange cables or the big hybrid battery pack. That is dealer/EV‑certified tech work only.
• ⚠️ For a 12V battery change, you’ll work under the hood. Avoid metal jewelry and keep tools away from both terminals at the same time to prevent sparks.
• ⚠️ For a key fob battery, there is no shock risk, just be gentle with plastic parts.
