Battery OEM Nissan or OEM Mercedes
Reviews
I've owned a 2011 Nissan Sentra since it only had 10 miles. It's been 15 years and the only repairs I have had to do were my own mistakes (hitting curbs and such). I've only ever changed the bands once, but never touched anything else on the engine. The AC/Heater work the same as day 1. One of my windows won't go down with its own button, but I can still control it from the driver side. I've done basic maintenence, oil changes, new brake pads, new windshield wipers, etc. But haven't needed any major work done. Even the batteries have lasted in the car (though this specific year and model had a recall for faulty battery terminals).
The first 10 years or so, I drove it EVERYWHERE in CA. Road trips every weekend and driving through not small car friendly terrain.
In the 15 years, I crashed it twice. No serious injuries and no car blowing up (I've heard so many rumors that Nissans blow in accidents.. they don't anymore than any other car would). It's running a little funky now for the past 2 years, but again, completely my fault. The last crash was full speed at a curb and damaged the mainframe.
It's a little over 200,000 miles and I'm finally looking to get a new car, but im scared I won't find one as reliable. I've had this car since I was 18, I'm 32 now!
Pros: AC/Heater work well, batteries lasted long
Cons: one window button faulty
Vehicle:
Nissan Sentra
Mileage: 321868 km
Currently have a MB EQS that’s fantastic for about 1/3 of what it cost new.
Pros: fantastic, great value
I have a 2020 GLB250 and mine was saying "12V battery" on and off for a few weeks. I checked under the hood with a multimeter and my main battery did have a low voltage while the car was off. I replaced it a few weeks back. No more notification.
Pros: no more notification
Cons: low voltage, on and off
I had the same issue on my w213 - same warning every now and then until one day it just didn’t start. Replaced the battery and solved the issue.
Pros: solved the issue
Cons: warning every now and then
m.b. buy a Benz battery?
If the battery dropped to 9V it is probably defective.
Cons: battery probably defective
I decided to get a 2019 titan at 55k miles haven’t had any major problems! But they do have an electrical problem with the battery. Fix: disconnect a grey plug that’s on the negative cable! It regulates the alternator voltage. It can cause the battery to fail quicker over time! But I like that the truck is always running on 8 cyl and still uses a power steering instead of electric steering!
Pros: no major problems, 8 cylinder engine, power steering
Cons: electrical problem with battery
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 55000 km
In the 166 body MB ML/GL, its under the passenger seat, with barely enough room to reach the rear terminal. It's also so far forward that you can barely grab the fuckin thing. Oh, did I mention that it is a group 49 battery.
Cons: hard to reach
Only problem was when a battery blew and that totalled my last Leaf after 154.000 km (98000miles) .
Cons: battery blew, car totaled
Vehicle:
Nissan Leaf
Mileage: 154000 km
The OEM battery was junk and crapped out the next day after I got home from purchasing it.
Cons: junk, crapped out quickly
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 16093 km
