Make sure your battery is ready to go

A dead battery is inconvenient at best; at worst, it can be downright dangerous. Your Nissan dealer offers a complimentary battery diagnostic test as part of our multi-point inspection. And should you need a new battery, we have the right one for your Nissan vehicle.


The average car battery lasts about three or four years with regular use, the average hybrid battery lasts five to ten years, and the average full electric battery core lasts an amazing 10 to 17 years. Most cars last around 12 years, so drivers can expect their vehicles to require battery service one to four times a year, depending on the vehicle type. Reiselman Nissan offers comprehensive battery services at affordable prices. We'll go into what we offer below.


Know the Signs of a Failing Battery

We should detail the signs that show a battery is failing before we go into what we can do for a vehicle with a failing battery. One of the most substantial and misleading signs involves electrical equipment failure. A battery puts out less power when it nears the end of its useful life. After a certain point, this decrease will bring about sporadic electrical system failures. If electrical components like the radio, infotainment system, power seating, air conditioning, or power windows fail at once, don't worry.

The odds are they aren't all falling apart. They're just not getting the energy they require for proper operation. Another sign of a failing battery is headlights that are always dim regardless of the number of times new lamps, bulbs, or LEDs are replaced. If your engine isn't turning over and a repeated clicking noise comes from your engine when you turn your key, you may need a new battery.

If you find that your vehicle needs to be jump-started with regularity, it could be time for a new battery. Batteries lose their ability to hold a charge when they get old. Eventually, the battery will be unable to hold a jump charge. Drivers should bring their vehicle into a shop for battery servicing before it reaches this stage to avoid expensive towing costs.

If a vehicle's engine struggles to turn over, it may be time for a new battery. Finally, if a gas-powered vehicle is over five years old and has its original battery, it should be checked and replaced if necessary.

Battery Replacement Costs and Parts Financing

Regular car batteries are surprisingly cheap, running from around $50 to $250 on average. Hybrid batteries cost $2,000 to $8,000 to replace on average. Electric vehicle (EV) battery cores cost anywhere from $2,500 to $20,000 to replace on average. The larger the battery and the more substantial the charge it holds, it is generally more expensive to replace. The Nissan Leaf's battery core costs $7,000 or more to replace, making it one of the more affordable battery cores in its class.

The Nissan Rogue Hybrid's battery costs around $4,000 to replace, putting it on the lower end of the spectrum within its class. It is easy to recognize that Nissan batteries are more affordable to replace than many of their counterparts. At Reiselman Nissan of Kansas City, Missouri, we finance more than just vehicles; we also finance parts and services. Our finance center professionals can help you if your battery replacement requires financing and you'd rather not pay all at once.

Useful Warranties and Comprehensive Battery Services

We have the ideal battery for your Nissan, no matter which model or year you drive. Each one is designed to cover the needs of the vehicle it is matched with, so you can be sure when you get a battery from us, it'll do the job. All of our regular batteries come with four-year limited warranties. The warranty covers parts and labor fully for the first two years.

After that, the coverage runs down a pro-rata scale for the remaining years. This means the older the battery gets, the less coverage it warrants. Nissan EV batteries are covered for 96 months or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. Nissan Hybrid batteries are covered by a four-year limited warranty.

You can count on the experienced service center personnel at Reiselman Nissan when the time comes to have your gas Nissan, Nissan hybrid, or Nissan EV battery replaced. Replacements for standard batteries take just a few minutes, but replacing the other two battery types is more involved and time-consuming. On average, hybrid batteries require an hour to two hours of labor, but some require more work.

Battery cores in full EVs vary widely in configuration and size, so their replacement time range is far broader. Full EV battery core replacement operations can take anywhere from half an hour to half a day to complete. Our battery inspection services are free for qualifying vehicles no matter what kind of Nissan you have or which battery it needs.

Primary Battery Types

There are three major battery types for gas-powered Nissans: standard flooded, enhanced flooded, and absorbed glass mat. Nissan hybrids and EVs are powered by lithium-ion batteries. Standard flooded batteries are designed for high cranking and cycling and are ideal for handling reserve power issues. Enhanced flooded batteries can carry more than double the partial state of charge and cycling performance of their standard flooded cousins. This kind of battery is more prone to sulfation, so it needs service inspection more often.

Absorbed glass mat batteries are the best of the standard trio at powering vehicles with heavy power demands. If your gas-powered Nissan has a wide range of potent electrical systems, odds are it could use an absorbed gas mat battery. Lithium-ion batteries can be recharged hundreds of times more often than their lesser cousins, making them ideal for EVs and hybrids. They have a high energy density and a lower discharge rate than the other three versions.

Reiselman Nissan of Kansas City, Missouri, can help with every battery need your Nissan will ever have. Our professionally trained service technicians will take care of your battery work as quickly as possible. Whether you have a standard gas-powered Nissan, a hybrid, or an EV version of one of our expertly engineered vehicles, we have the people, parts, and expertise needed to get the job done right every time. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about our battery services or which battery matches your valued Nissan.
