Battery OEM Nissan or OEM Chevrolet

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!

UPDATE: i just got my wifes car back from the dealership and it turns out it was the battery for hers. The voltage thats normal for her car is 14.8 volts not 13.4. He said there are 40+ computers and when the voltage is low it causes havoc in the car.

When I bought my used bolt from Carvana. I had scheduled a full review at the local Chevy service center/dealership. They confirmed the battery had been recently replaced, other than that perfect condition.

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.

a used 2013-2015 Nissan Leaf. Tennessee winters should be at least somewhat mild so they should be gentler on the battery, and it's best if you can park it somewhere in the shade. They often go for $2k-$3k private sale around me because the battery life is fading and nobody wants a car with 40-60 miles of range after "filing up." Slow charging using a standard 110V outlet is better for the battery and should suffice for your use case as long as you can charge overnight and maybe longer over weekends.

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

Never left me stranded besides a dead battery.

Chevy Bolt. Then it was recalled for the battery fire issue.

Chevy Bolt, almost caught fire they bought it off me
