I quick charged my Leaf over 350 times in 2 years and it barely degraded the battery.
Pros: minimal battery degradation
Vehicle:
Nissan Leaf
Of course, you can get a new battery, and I recently had a new battery 80% covered by the dealer, since this is a very well known and documented problem. (My battery was going on 6 years old, so I felt like the discount made it a good time to replace it anyways. The discount was specifically because it is a known issue, and supposedly the new battery is more powerful and “solves” the problem, per the dealer.)
Pros: more powerful, solves problem
I have a 2019 got a discounted replacement battery at the dealer and the new one is much larger (more powerful?).
Pros: larger, more powerful
OEM Subaru batteries and not the best. When it's time for replacement go with a 3rd party battery.
Pros: 3rd party battery better
Cons: OEM not the best
My car does not start well. I had replaced the battery myself, which helped it not be so bad.
Pros: helped it not be so bad
Cons: car does not start well
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza

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
Vehicle:
Nissan
Bought a 2025 Rogue Platinum less than 2 weeks ago. So far, on day 4 the car was completely dead in my driveway. Needed the battery replaced.
Cons: car completely dead, battery replaced
Vehicle:
Nissan
