Battery OEM Nissan or OEM KIA

when we bought our 2024 Kia Sportage hybrid, the salesman was showing us around it and got around to popping the hood, I did not see a 12 volt battery.

After several tests they were able to get the battery fail code they were looking for. Nissan replaced the battery with a new one, and so far so good.

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.

Learned that the battery in the Sorento was incorrect. Replaced with correct battery. All is right in the world.

Put one in my Frontier last winter, and had more consistent starts. Cost half of Nissan dealership with higer CCA.

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

Saturday morning, we pull up to the house outside of Palmdale to this scene - a beat ass Chevy Celebrity trying to jump start an even more thrashed Nissan Stanza. The battery was fully charged, but it wouldn't start because it was still in 'drive.' After almost burning the thing down with improperly attached jumper cables, we were ready for a test drive. It ran... kinda. It was firing on 3...sometimes 4 cylinders, and the oil was overfilled by about 2 quarts.

Biggest issue was it ate batteries, never had a car go through so many batteries

Problem I have with my 2016 is I go threw lot of batterys , first one lasted 3 years which told it comes with 3 year battery 2 one lasted 2 years ,The third one only one year..So brought to dealer. They checked connections and hooked up meter left hooked up for 2 days..It draws .07 amps when just sitting.

Well it's 30 months old and is still 6 months under the pro-rated warranty. Took it to a dealer, they replaced it and said it would be 226 dollars! I asked if they checked the warranty and the technician stepped away and came back 20 minutes later. "kia corporate declined the warranty on your battery".
