Dear Robert,

Iâ€™ve just bought a new 2018 Nissan Armada. Itâ€™s fantastic having such a big engine and so many entertainment and safety features. But Iâ€™m worried all this will put an excessive strain on the battery. How will I know if itâ€™s dying?

Thanks,
Billy

Hi, Billy!

Iâ€™ll start by saying, as long as youâ€™re following the Armadaâ€™s recommended maintenance guidelines, thereâ€™s really nothing to worry about. But below are a few things which would indicate you may have a problem with your battery.

It takes a lot of power to get your Armadaâ€™s engine started: if you hear it cranking slowly when you try to get it running, thereâ€™s a good chance your battery is on its last legs.

In addition to starting your vehicleâ€™s engine, the battery also has to power all of its electrical components. So, if any of these parts start to malfunction, this could also indicate a problem.Â

Finally, if it has shorted or been overcharged your battery may vent gas. This will smell like rotten eggs and come from under the hood of your car. So if you notice this or any of the signs mentioned above, you should call into our Service Department and let our technicians have a look.

Thanks for the question, Billy! Donâ€™t hesitate to contact us again should you need to.
