![]() Also forgot to mention, dealer didn't say anything about changing my oil (which has roughly 280 miles left before light comes on) or replacing the dirty EAF, but mentioned a CVT Flush (which I told them that I already did it) and brake fluid flush (which my local mech did roughly 20k miles ago) and when I pulled up, my SA was there and said that I was his regular customer to another SA, and that SA told me to bring my Rogue in whenever I plan on replacing the battery with a new Nissan battery with my regular SA. I will shop around for a better CCA battery, even if I have to get a bigger battery. But I have never seen a PS Fluid container in the engine bay of the Rogue at all. The PS Fluid thing, I have done it on my driveway about 2 years ago, which might have costed the Accord of its original starter and my driveway with PS luidF stains. And matter of fact, I am actually looking at spending my first paycheck on proper tools for once! It starts up fine and gives the correct 12.x volts, and I left the topper and my phone plugged in for like 5 hours yesterday (even with the engine off), and another 5 hours tonight! I was thinking about the 84-month warranty on it, since Honda typically does the 100-month warranty. I actually had a concern when I took the Rogue to the local Autozone, who was the first ones that told me that the battery failed the test, and just told me that the voltage was perfect and that the battery was going bad. Another one very subtle but there, the engine either hesitates for a fractional second to click the starter over to whirl to start, or anything at all sounding different in the way the starter spins up can be telling you the battery is about to go. Things like the gauges doing a sudden sweep, or the trans won't come out of park with the brake pedal hit when they don't normally act up can tell you battery problems are just over the horizon and coming fast. The cars each require a certain CCA of battery but if it is picked to be above what the engine actually requires real world you can still start and run for a while at under the 'spec' CCA but be ready for trouble. I got the volt numbers quoted above after doing hundreds of tests on all brands of cars to work out the range there. A loadtest though will show issues above and beyond what simple voltage can show and batteries DO do some pretty weird things at times. Or, another way to do a cheap man's loadtest without taking it to the store. I had one Walmart 3 year last 11 years sitting a lot.īatteries run from 12.3 to 12.8 volt when in good condition and they begin to show problems at 12.2 or lower and easily measured with a volt meter. When they sit they last longer due to no vibration from running but you MUST keep them charged up. I let cars sit a lot and I always remove a battery cable to make them last as long as 10 years in a few cases, I have a 2 year one right now that is over 6 years old and still starts and runs the car. The collector car guys use the expensive ones then they do not keep them charged up with a trickle charger. Letting them sit will kill them even faster and how I saw a lot of them die at 2 years. I saw most go like said 3-4 years averaged out and regardless of what the battery is rated at. Sometimes I help install it or do it all by myself like with my Rogue some time ago.īatteries do not last all equally the same, I used to sell them and the 7 year ones can go bad in 2 years but not common. Just bring your order number, they look it up. In my mind, I said it was so easier doing it online with their website. They trying to confirm the employee who gave it to her and if it was even the right store she was at. Once there a lady was also trying to do a battery exchange but she called it in by phone and tried to get the discount verbally on the phone she explained. ![]() The first battery I used a 20% off coupon and the second battery a 25% off coupon which took off $40 plus the $20 trade in credit. I bought 2 batteries for various cars we own, and I use the online coupon for that particular day. Hope it lasts longer.Īlso buy it online before going to advance auto. I use a maintainer now since my vehicle is loaded with electronics. My batteries usually last exactly 5 years, even though i killed many times by leaving my aux driving lights many times. Or your 16 or either a woman they are trying to take advantage of. Please tell me that was not a Nissan Dealership, because if they told you to get a power steering flush, you need to run away as fast as you can since they don't know their own car, a scam,
