Frequently asked questions

It depends on the generation and engine: there are 3 compatible batteries in total, from 60 to 70 Ah and 540 to 650 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Car battery Varta E23 12V 70Ah 630A, Start-Stop battery Varta N65 12V 65Ah 650A EFB, Car battery Varta D47 12V 60Ah 540A. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.
Between 69.95 € and 110.80 €, VAT included, depending on capacity and technology (lead-acid, EFB). Start-Stop versions (AGM or EFB) sit at the top of the range because they withstand many more cycles.
By the registration year: Maxima VIII (2015-2025); Maxima VII (2008-2025); Maxima VI (2003-2008); Maxima / Maxima Qx V (1999-2003); Maxima / Maxima Qx IV Station Wagon (1997-2000); Maxima / Maxima Qx IV (1994-2000). If your year falls in the overlap between two generations, tell them apart by body type (hatchback, estate or coupé) or use the plate finder, which settles it with no doubt.
Yes, as long as the dimensions fit the tray and the terminal layout matches. More capacity (Ah) and more cold cranking (A) do not harm the vehicle: the alternator charges it the same and you gain margin in winter. What you must never do is go below the original figures.
Between 4 and 6 years in normal use. Start-Stop batteries (AGM/EFB) tend to last slightly less in city driving because of the number of starts, but they are designed for that cycling. If the car sits unused for weeks or you notice slow cranking in the cold, get it checked.

How to know which battery your Nissan Maxima takes

The real shortcut is your registration number. It settles generation, engine and factory battery in seconds — exactly where most people get it wrong when buying.

Prefer to do it manually? Check the date of first registration on your V5C and match it against the generation table above. When a year straddles two generations, the body style decides it: five-door hatch, estate or coupé.

Before ordering, inspect your existing battery: its label lists the Ah and the starting amps. The replacement must match or beat both — never fall short — and share the same size and positive terminal side.

Start-Stop: which battery your Maxima needs

The later Maxima generations run Start-Stop, which puts the battery through hundreds of micro-cycles a day. These cars require EFB (basic Start-Stop) or AGM (Start-Stop with regenerative braking): fitting a conventional battery instead cuts service life to a few months and the ECU may disable the function. Rule of thumb: never downgrade from the technology fitted at the factory.
