At Courtesy Nissan of Tampa we recommend battery types that match or exceed Nissan’s original specifications, prioritizing proven chemistries and brands that deliver consistent starts and resilience to Florida heat. Routine battery checks help determine when a battery’s internal condition has declined and whether a traditional flooded lead-acid battery or a newer AGM (if specified) is the right choice for your vehicle and driving habits. Dealers can confirm the factory-recommended chemistry, ensuring compatibility with the vehicle’s charging system and accessories. Selecting the correct battery type at the dealership minimizes premature failures and avoids electrical complications.
