What parameters should I look at when choosing
When choosing a battery for a car, they usually look at the capacity in the first place, and other parameters are often not taken into account. In fact, this is not entirely true. If we consider the capacity, then batteries from 55 Ah to 65 Ah are installed on this model. The choice depends on the power of the motor.
In addition, it is worth considering the required inrush current, the cooler the region, the higher it should be. There can be problems with the type of terminals, as European cars will have standard terminals, but Asian ones will have ASIA terminals (sticking out above the body)
The polarity can only be reversed. Be sure to look at the sizes. For different generations of Almer, they are different. We list the standard parameters for different versions.
Note! The easiest option is to buy about the same battery as it was, that is, the same capacity, with the same cold-scroll current and exactly the same dimensions.
How to choose a battery for Nissan Almera
Below we consider the main characteristics of the battery, suitable for each specific engine. It should be borne in mind that only capacity and the need for inrush current depend on the engines, the dimensions depend on the body, and more precisely on the generation. Restyling of the hatchback and sedan influenced the parameters of the engine compartment.
