Hi All,

I am very happy with my new purchase, I was just wonder as I have never had a start stop car how long does the battery usually last with the start stop being on?

Also how much does it cost roughly to replace the battery on this and does it have to be a specialise battery or just a normal one?

Thanks
Dom

You must buy one to same spec as original and one designed for the heavier current draw of SS cars. :o
Apparently you are also supposed to get the new battery programmed into the car's BCM which can only be done
at a Nissan dealer.
However, I'd wait until the next service to bother with that to minimise $£charges.

Thanks for that, it shouldn't need doing yet but it is good to know for when it does happen. It has just been serviced and MOT'd when we brought it so should be good to go. Overall I am very pleased with the drive etc.
