2011 Nissan Altima Battery Type

Selecting the correct battery type for a 2011 Nissan Altima is essential to performance and longevity. Most Altima models use a 12-volt lead-acid battery, but alternative chemistries such as AGM can be appropriate for vehicles with higher accessory loads or specific electrical requirements. At Crown Nissan of Greenville our technicians evaluate your vehicle’s electrical demands, driving habits, and climate exposure before recommending a battery type. This tailored approach prevents unnecessary replacements and protects sensitive onboard electronics.
