Battery OEM Nissan or Energizer

Crappy "genuine VW battery/parts" for you. Any of my other OEM Japanese car batteries lasted much longer. My 2011 Nissan 370z OEM battery lasted 7 years. It could've probably gone even longer if not for without driving it for long during the covid pandemic.

It has been in there since 2016 and still works fine.

I've noticed the 20xx Energizer series seem to be made in Japan. Refreshing since they don't stink like the Ikea MIC ones.

I just ordered the energizer lithium fob battery, will see if it lasts longer than the regular energizer which in my case was 3 years

I didn't get long lasting power from "any brand name". Switching to Energizer or Panasonic did much better, like 2 years.

I'm in central Texas and the Leaf does just fine for in city driving. The batteries run hotter than a liquid cooled battery does of course but they are capable of operating at Texas summer temperatures. Where they struggle is on long highway trips. High speeds mean more load on the battery which also means more heat and more likely to have the car limit power due to battery temps. I have noticed that Leafs in Texas do tend to show more battery degradation and less capacity than leafs that are in cooler climate.

I have a 2015 Nissan LEAF SV. In -25C or colder (and to be fair, it's rarely -25C (not counting the windchill) during the day), with moderate heat on (set heat to 19C or less) plus heated steering wheel and heated seats (both of which use relatively very little power), I can lose a good 60% of my range

I started using Energizer a few years ago after EVERY SINGLE DURACELL BATTERY in a 24-pack I bought corroded just as badly as the 1st battery on the left in your picture! This was regardless of whether the battery was in a device like a clock that was always running, in a device that is used when needed like my flashlight, or stored in my home office.

We're having the same issue on our 22 Pathfinder. We're on our second battery. The first was replaced under warranty in January '24 after failing and stranding my wife out of town in the cold. It took 6 hours of testing before they would approve replacement.

they do suffer more with battery degredation due to crap thermal management (older models).
