I have been reading quite a few threads recently where people have been having problems with faulty 12v batteries causing other issues with the car.
My Leaf is a 2015 model and I am pretty sure it still has the original 12v battery seeing as it is Nissan branded. I think it would be prudent to get it changed now before any issues crop up.
I found this battery which is supposed to be compatible with my car:
Bosch S4002 - car battery - 52A/h - 470A - lead-acid technology - for vehicles without Start/Stop system - Type 012/079 https://amzn.eu/d/8Jqcif0
Would this be OK or is there something better I should get. I am not really bothered about warranty as I plan on selling the car in a year and a half anyway.
I have never changed a 12 V battery before but I have all the tools to do so. Is there anything I should or shouldn't do whilst changing the battery? I had a garage change a battery in my last car (Nissan Note) and it caused the radio to require a password to get working again which required a dealership visit. Any pitfalls like that to watch out for?
Thanks.
