Nissan Maxima: Battery Replacement Interval

Nissan batteries have been known to go 8 or more years, but I live in
New England and I always replace mine at the 3-4 year interval, working
or not.

There's no better investment for reliability at this point. You
never know what really inconvenient or dangerous time it will decide
to quit.

My recommendation: The gold DieHard or the Ford MotorCraft.

Just a point of reference is that the battery in my 95 Maxima SE and a 95
Ford F250 truck at work each lasted 5.5 years before suddenly going out
(ie, they worked in the morning, but died during a brief stop). This was
near Chicago.

I have 3 cars, well 4 counting the '94 Maxima sleeping in my garage.
I'm in a very cold weather area, Alberta Canada. Recently purchased 3
used cars, 98 Ford Contour, 99 Camry, and 99 Taurus -- all still have
their original batteries and are working fine. <knock on wood> However
I am considering new batteries all around this fall.

I second the GoldDieHard from Sears when they are on sale. and I never
keep them over 4 Years am sure they can last longer but don't like being
stranded with a dead Batt.

I'm on my third Maxima and all of the Nissan batteries I've had lasted
2 to 2.5 years (in Memphis, TN). I've had much better luck with
Interstate batteries.

Well I'll second the Interstate battery, they seem to be the most trouble
free ones I've seen. 3-4 years is about a normal lifespan.
