But wouldn't you be ahead financially to wait until the original battery starts to give problems? Let's say it actually lasts 3 years. At that point Nissan would have to sell you a new battery for 43% of their (admittedly inflated) list price.myleaf said:I will probably consider it once the two year replacement warranty is up. I have two sears diehard platinum (AGM) batteries in the other cars and they seem to be holding up well in the AZ heat.

"Maintenance Free" batteries are not sealed, they have smaller plates and more liquid so they can stand more evaporation without exposing the plates to air. They have difficult or impossible to remove vent caps so they fail once they lose enough liquid.garygid said:Usually, the "no-maintenance" or "sealed" liquid Lead Acid batteries can still "breathe" and loose water, right?
