One of the most important components of your Nissan vehicle is its battery. With modern cars being designed with a myriad of computers, digital interfaces, cameras, radar sensors and more, it’s imperative that you ensure that your Nissan’s battery is in tip-top shape. Continue reading below as our team here at Nissan Downtown explores the reasons why it’s essential to regularly inspect and replace your Nissan’s battery.
Why Do I Need to Regularly Inspect My Battery?
Your Nissan’s battery plays a pivotal role in ensuring the continued reliability and performance of your vehicle. The battery is essential for starting your engine, powering all of the electrical components including its lighting systems, multimedia interface, door lock mechanisms and much more. By regularly inspecting the health of your Nissan’s battery, you help prevent unwanted situations like roadside breakdowns or vehicle jump starts.
Signs That Your Battery May Need Replacing
1. Engine Struggles to Turn Over
If you begin to notice that your Nissan is struggling to turn over, this may be a sign that your battery is on its way out. Bring your Nissan to our service centre and have one of our technicians inspect its battery health.
2. Frequent Jump Starts
Another sign of a battery on its last legs is if you’re constantly needing to jump start your engine. A weak battery is unable to send adequate amounts of power to start the engine.
3. Corroded Terminals
Bluish-green residue on your Nissan’s battery terminals is another indication that it may be time to replace your battery. This corrosion can disrupt the flow of electricity, preventing the battery from charging properly and sending power to vital vehicle components.
