Nissan Moco battery replacement, fitted on site

Choosing a battery for the Nissan Moco

The Moco ran from 2002 to 2016. Later cars in that range often have start-stop and need maintenance-free flooded, while earlier ones use a standard battery, so the model year decides what we bring.

Compact cars use smaller batteries with less reserve, so short trips with the AC running drain them faster. The good news is that replacement is quick and the batteries are easy to stock.

What a Nissan needs from its battery

Nissan uses JIS flooded batteries on most models. The Sunny and Micra usually take NS40 or NS60, the Altima and X-Trail generally 55D23L, and the Patrol a high-capacity 80D26L or larger. The technician confirms it from the label.

The small Nissans use the thinner JIS terminal posts, so a battery with standard posts will not clamp up properly. A Patrol with extra lights, a fridge or a compressor needs the full-capacity battery and not the nearest size that fits the tray.

Send a photo of the label on your current battery, or the registration card, and we will confirm the exact specification before the technician leaves.
