Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Maxima / October 2004Battery Replacement Interval
I have a 2001 Maxima bought in Sept 2000. I live in a cold winter climate and park outdoors. I was wondering if it's time to install a new battery rather than run the risk of my car not starting on a cold winter morning. Cold Winter temperatures can be 0 deg F. to + 5 deg.

Nissan batteries have been known to go 8 or more years, but I live in New England and I always replace mine at the 3-4 year interval, working or not. > I have a 2001 Maxima bought in Sept 2000.

My recommendation: The gold DieHard or the Ford MotorCraft. JM > I have a 2001 Maxima bought in Sept 2000. I live in a cold winter > climate and park outdoors.

Just a point of reference is that the battery in my 95 Maxima SE and a 95 Ford F250 truck at work each lasted 5.5 years before suddenly going out (ie, they worked in the morning, but died during a brief stop). This was near Chicago. ƒOn 30 Sep 2004 18:08:45 -0700, willie <george040@sympatico.ca> wrote: ƒ> I have a 2001 Maxima bought in Sept 2000. I live in a cold winter ƒ> climate and park outdoors.

This was ƒnear Chicago. I have 3 cars, well 4 counting the '94 Maxima sleeping in my garage. I'm in a very cold weather area, Alberta Canada. Recently purchased 3 used cars, 98 Ford Contour, 99 Camry, and 99 Taurus -- all still have their original batteries and are working fine. <knock on wood> However I am considering new batteries all around this fall. > I have a 2001 Maxima bought in Sept 2000.

I second the GoldDieHard from Sears when they are on sale. and I never keep them over 4 Years am sure they can last longer but don't like being stranded with a dead Batt. > > I have a 2001 Maxima bought in Sept 2000.

I'm on my third Maxima and all of the Nissan batteries I've had lasted 2 to 2.5 years (in Memphis, TN). I've had much better luck with Interstate batteries. >> I second the GoldDieHard from Sears when they are on sale. and I never >> keep them over 4 Years am sure they can last longer but don't like being [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > 2 to 2.5 years (in Memphis, TN).

So I'll add my experience since my battery died (as in kaput) in a service station yesterday. '96 Max SE, 82K miles, bought Oct 95. OEM lasted until July 01 (almost 6 years) Exide July 01-Oct 04 (3 years 3 months) $29 for in warranty replacement (84 month warranty) Car is in San Jose, California. M |
