New Battery Replacemnt
New Battery Replacemnt
Hi all members. I am new to this forum. I have one question if anyone can help me.
I have nissan qashqai J11 2016 Reg. Looks like the battery is dying and wanted to replace new one
currently it has Varta silver dynamic agm
I did some research and found out if car has AGM battery it has to be replaced with AGM
My question is Do I need to get some professional installation like RAC or Halford because it says the battery has to be link with ECU of the car after installation or can I just install like old traditional battery?
your help will be really appreciated.

I wanted to know Is it possible to change AGM battery by myself or do car need to be linked to new battery by some professional software?

Re: New Battery Replacemnt
It does need registering using software and I think that AGM Batt should be EFB. Do you have RAC membership?

Re: New Battery Replacemnt
As you said if it's AGM presently it should be an AGM replacement - unless the battery's already been replaced with an upgraded AGM one.

Re: New Battery Replacemnt
My car came up with auto start errors today and would not start. Nissan sent out RAC under warranty (it's a March 2017 Qashqai 1.5). Mechanic said after hooking up the diagnostics thatit was AGM battery. A few years ago Nissan switched to the cheaper AGM batteries, but they are failing like crazy. So he got it replaced with a non AGM battery of better quality fixed under warranty. Apparently the newer cars have switched away from AGM batteries.

Interesting - not heard that before (i.e. non-AGM...)

Re: New Battery Replacemnt
What I know AGM batteries perform very well if it's well know brand like Varta
