vs
Battery OEM Nissan or OEM Mercedes
Reviews
Historically, OEM Mercedes batteries are really good and last many years.
Pros: good, last many years
The original Nissan battery in my 2015 still lives on in my 78 vette. I replaced the Nissan battery because I was going on a 7600 mile total trip and didn't want to take chances.
Mileage: 12231 km
Everyone's suggesting things that might save you half a percent or so, but no one has pointed out that by driving at 80mph, you lose *around 30% more battery* than if you were doing 70mph over the same distance
Cons: lose battery at 80mph
For my Mercedes sprinter I had the same battery in it for 10 years. I went and bought it at the dealership. Since the last one lasted 10 years. I shouldn’t have a problem with it.
Pros: long lasting, reliable
Vehicle:
Mercedes Sprinter
We have a 2023 Rogue and had to have the original battery replaced only a few months in. Had the run around of multiple long battery tests.
Cons: subpar batteries
Vehicle:
Nissan
a used 2013-2015 Nissan Leaf. Tennessee winters should be at least somewhat mild so they should be gentler on the battery, and it's best if you can park it somewhere in the shade. They often go for $2k-$3k private sale around me because the battery life is fading and nobody wants a car with 40-60 miles of range after "filing up." Slow charging using a standard 110V outlet is better for the battery and should suffice for your use case as long as you can charge overnight and maybe longer over weekends.
Pros: slow charging sufficient, gentler on battery in mild winters
Cons: fading battery life, limited range
Vehicle:
Nissan Leaf
2013 Leaf! We loved it but the ~90 mile range made it a work and home only car.
Pros: loved the car
Cons: limited range
Vehicle:
Nissan Leaf
replace battery twice..something is draining it..and 3 x not starting...had to use a jump starter to get it to turn over... no codes registering and dash indicators are not helping..once I get it running all warnings disappear....so I drive around with when is it going to happen again....
Cons: battery draining, not starting

Shop Forman and Nissan tech of 15 years, lately we have seen a ton of frontiers come in for battery discharging. Some will be batteries that do test bad, some have been discharging for no reason even after confirming no parasitic drains, some believe the Telematics control unit is staying on/relaying to Nissan servers causing drains. With the variable charging systems controlled by the ECM/IPDM all of it just seems to be a recipe for electrical disaster. Not a fan of any of it
Cons: battery discharging, electrical disaster

Nissan
