Battery OEM Nissan or OEM Audi

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!

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.

the battery is in great condition.

Mmmm interesting, u must have bought a lemon. I Bought a new Nissan Deisel Ute in 2018, been all over the country, does heaps of Ks and towing. Original Nissan battery is only just showing signs of needing replacement. I can't complain.

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!

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.

Spouse has a 2021 etron, (some issues, inc battery recall), I had a 2022 etron with many issues which prompted my change to a 2025 SQ6. I’ve written to Audi Canada so many times regarding the etron issues with no resolution on any of them. I like the SQ6 but this will be my last Audi - worst experience I’ve ever had with any vehicle and manufacturer.

It is a great car to drive.\n\nThe battery range is very, very poor. On a cold day the range may be in the 120 range. It is exp naive to maintain as most parts on it are coded which means Audi dealer only

Only problem was when a battery blew and that totalled my last Leaf after 154.000 km (98000miles) .

The OEM battery was junk and crapped out the next day after I got home from purchasing it.
