Z battery life

fantaZ · 03-24-2016, 09:06 AM

I just got a 2013 nismo z. and the battery is the original battery from the factory. How long do these batteries last for thankx.

firulice · 03-24-2016, 10:25 AM

A lot of factors go into this but on average I'd say 5 years or so. Although I still have my original from 2010 but have less than 24k miles on it.

I have a 2012 NIsmo with 30K miles. Still on OEM battery.

ck the maintenance section.. theres a huge thread on this.

fwiw, my z's battery will last over 10yrs probably.. my expectation based on my G's battery.

mine is a 2009 and i just hit 51k miles. it also sits for 3-5 months a year for winter.

i just changed the OEM battery this past september.

Down here in Florida as you are I don't seem to be able to keep a battery going for more than 2 to 3 yrs. My Z is 1.5 yrs. old & I hope that it will do a little better.

Keep an eye on the water levels and keep them at the correct level. Heat down here will boil a battery out in no time. Check the battery water level at every oil change and only use distilled water to fill it back up to the proper level. They will last 6-7 years if taken care of properly.

I must be getting lemon batteries.
On my second "84 month" Nissan Battery.
1st was full warranty at 20k miles. Second not under warranty at 42k miles. Still cheeper than any other battery I could find.

Should last a long time. 2012 67k, left my halos on for a couple of hours and had to jump it (thanks to hotrodz) and it is still good. No issues since. I changed my G37 at 80k so most likely soon.

Mine lasted 4 years before I replaced it. I probably could have gone 5 years, but Nissan batteries are relatively cheap.

I have a 2010 that I bought in Nov of 2010. I still have the OEM battery with only 27,000 miles on the odometer. I don't drive it in the winter, but I do hook up a battery tender plus to keep it charged while not driving it. Also, looking at the builder's plate on the driver's door jam, my 2010 was built in October, 2009.
