Power Up Your Nissan With Genuine Nissan Replacement Batteries. Proper car battery care can help your Nissan run smoothly. When your Nissan’s battery isn’t properly charged, it can cause several problems ranging from dimmed headlights to starting issues. Replacing your Nissan’s battery is a normal part of your vehicle’s routine maintenance. When it’s time to replace your battery, choose a Nissan Genuine Battery* that’s designed to meet your vehicle’s original specifications and comes with an 84-month limited warranty. What are some symptoms of a dying battery in my Nissan? If your Nissan car battery is dying, you’ll likely notice several symptoms including: • Slow cranking while starting • Clicking while failing to start • Dimmed interior or exterior lighting • Battery warning light is lit on dashboard If you think your battery may be failing, visit your local Nissan service center for a complimentary battery test. What kind of battery does my Nissan need? Having the right-sized battery for your Nissan is an essential part of keeping your vehicle operational and efficient. All car batteries have a set number of cold cranking amps (CCA). The number of CCAs can directly affect your battery’s ability to start in cold temperatures. Additionally, automotive batteries with more cold cranking amps can be more reliable over longer periods of time and even have extended battery life compared to batteries with lower cold-cranking amps. In addition to the CCA, you need to consider Group size. Group size is determined by the battery’s physical size, terminal location, and type. Multiple batteries can have the same CCA but different Group size, so knowing the Group will help you really narrow down which battery will work best for your specific vehicle. Your Nissan’s battery requirements are determined by a host of factors like your vehicle’s year, model, drivetrain, and features. We’ve made it easy to find your Nissan’s exact battery match online. Shop our complete OEM parts catalog to find the right battery and other Nissan parts and accessories for your model and trim. GENUINE NISSAN BATTERY REPLACEMENT $25.00 Off Schedule Your Service Now.
