Three Things to Know Before Buying a Car Battery

Every car’s battery can deteriorate over time, and although frequent repairs may offer a temporary fix, investing in a dependable battery will keep your vehicle running smoothly. At Sansone Nissan, we’re proud to provide quality Nissan service to drivers looking for car batteries for sale in the Woodbridge, NJ, area. Here are three things you should know before shopping for a car battery.

1.      What Battery do I Need?

Several battery options are available, and the best way to find out which one suits your car is to follow your manufacturer’s instructions. Whether you have an SUV or compact car, note which battery your model requires before making any decisions.

To ensure your battery delivers peak performance, we recommend only using genuine OEM parts designed for your vehicle, which you can find at our service center.

2.      How Fresh is The Battery?

Something else to consider is how old the battery is at the time of purchase. Choosing a battery that is a year old may be less effective than a newly manufactured one. You can check each battery’s “freshness” date by looking at its alphanumeric code.

3.      How Long will it Last?

A battery with cold cranking amps is ideal for driving in colder climates, while drivers in humid climates often may have to replace their battery every one to two years. Of course, many factors can influence how often you need to replace your battery, so it’s a good idea to factor in driving conditions, such as climate, before you start shopping for a new battery.
