5 Signs It's Time for a Battery Replacement
Standard car batteries typically last three to five years. If your battery's nearing that window, you can proactively schedule battery replacement service now. You'll also want to make an appointment if you notice any of these symptoms:
- Clicking or “rurr, rurr, rurr” sounds during ignition
- "Check Engine" or "Check Battery" dashboard alerts
- Dim headlights, dim interior lights, or malfunctioning electronics
- Swollen or greenish-colored corrosion on the battery case
- Sulfur or rotten egg smell during ignition and/or while driving
"What Type of Nissan Battery Do I Need?"
This is a common question for our certified technicians. Nissan vehicles use one of four different battery types, and even though you don't need to come to your battery replacement service appointment knowing which kind, we want to help you understand our process and your car a little better. So, here's a quick overview of Nissan batteries and which vehicles they support:
- Standard Flooded: Sometimes called a lead-acid battery, this high-cranking design powers most gas and hybrid Nissan models.
- Enhanced Flooded: You'll find this more powerful battery in gas and hybrid Nissan cars with Auto Start/Stop functions.
- AGM: An absorbed glass-mat battery has the longest lifespan; it's also found in gas and hybrid Nissan cars with Auto Start/Stop.
- Lithium-Ion: These energy-dense batteries are used in Nissan electric and plug-in hybrid models.
"How Can I Tell Which Type of Battery My Nissan Uses?"
This is the logical next question. Nissan batteries are labeled, but in case you're not familiar with battery abbreviations, here's a little overview that might help. Standard flooded or enhanced flooded batteries usually say "Wet," "Flooded," or "Lead-Acid" on their labels and tend to have visible circular or rectangular caps that can be pried off to check fluid levels. AGM batteries will clearly display "AGM", "Absorbent Glass Mat," or "VRLA" on their labels and have flat tops with no ports and no way to open them. Nissan lithium-ion batteries come with "Warning" labels that indicate their high voltages and should never be opened at home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know when I need a battery replacement?
If your car is clicking or making a “rurr, rurr, rurr” sound when you start it up, or you notice a rotten, sulfur-like smell, you might need a new battery. Other signs your car needs battery replacement service include dim headlights or interior lights, malfunctioning electronics, and a swollen battery case. Make an appointment as soon as possible to avoid getting stranded.
How long does a Nissan battery last?
Standard flooded, or lead-acid, batteries usually last three to five years, while enhanced flooded and AGM batteries usually perform well for between four and seven years. Lithium-ion batteries that power EV and PHEV vehicles can last 10 years or more. Remember that actual battery lifespans also depend on factors like climate, usage, and charging habits.
What are the signs that my car battery is dying?
If your car battery is dying but still functioning, your dashboard will probably display a "Check Engine" or "Check Battery" warning light. Pop the hood, and you could also find greenish, powdery corrosion on one or more of your battery's terminals. Sometimes, a dying car battery can be revived with a simple cleaning, and other times, you'll need a full battery replacement.
