OEM Nissan Nissan Altima Batteries
The battery is an integral part of the charging system in your Nissan Altima. Most variants of the mid-size car come from the factory with an industry-standard SLI (starting, lighting, and ignition) battery. It uses a lead-acid chemical reaction in most cases to generate electricity. This charge powers the starter motor, plus other electrical components.
Unfortunately, no battery, neither the flooded nor gel nor AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) type, lasts forever. (Even the nickel-metal hydride (NiMh) batteries in siblings like the Nissan Altima Hybrid go bad sooner or later, as do the lithium-ion (Li) batteries in electric vehicles (EVs) like Nissan LEAF. It doesn't matter whether they're your average starter batteries or the deep-cycle kind either.) Luckily, when a Nissan Altima battery starts to go bad, just like any other conventional one, there are telltale signs that'll let you know that's happening. They include:
- The car being slow to start
- Battery and Check Engine lights appearing on the dash
- The battery posts appearing dirty or corroded
- Low or leaking battery fluid
Of course, if the sedan has a dead battery, the symptoms will be much clearer. For instance:
- The car won't start at all
- Jump-starting the car won't work
- The lighting will either work erratically or not at all; the same will go for electronics like the radio
- The power windows or power seats (if you have them) may work slowly or not at all
If you experience any of this, you should inspect and test both the battery and the charging system generally. If you notice the battery bulging at all, though, you'll need to change it ASAP regardless. Otherwise, when to replace car batteries generally is straightforward: take care of it every three years or so. It's fairly easy to do, too: all you have to do usually is disconnect the positive and negative battery cables, take off the battery hold-down and pull it out, put in the new battery, and reconnect the cables accordingly. Be sure to check your owner's manual or other manufacturer's instructions for the specifics. Most importantly, before buying a new battery, make sure that it's the genuine article.
Why Buy a Genuine OEM Battery for Your Nissan Altima?
Nissan manufactures them to spec for the car's many trims and variants that have been available over the years. That kind of compatibility assurance isn't always the case with aftermarket batteries. Even if an off-brand makes the same claim to proper fit and finish, functionality can still be less reliable.
