Battery Information for 2007–2012 Nissan Sentra

Your Sentra’s battery is a crucial component that allows you to get moving. For reliable, consistent performance, you need to keep your vehicle’s battery in top shape. The typical lifespan of a car battery ranges from 3 to 5 years. However, your driving habits and climate can impact how your battery holds up over time. Cold winters, hot summers, and short, frequent trips can all shorten the lifespan of car batteries.

Because your battery is a critical vehicle component, it’s recommended that you test it regularly. If your battery isn’t holding a charge, it takes a while to start your car, the lights are dimming, or it is over three years old, it might be time to find a new Sentra battery.
