Battery OEM Nissan or SAMSUNG
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
I personally use Samsung 50S and RS50. The RS50 or 50XG are the optimal choice in my opinion.
Pros: optimal choice
I did the same replacements two weeks ago, it took about a week for the battery to recalibrate, definitely am seeing the improvements now.
Pros: seeing the improvements now
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
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
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
Looks like I'm getting a battery replacement. Very disappointed in Samsung this year.
Cons: disappointed in Samsung
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
