Replacing the battery in your 2013 to 2018 Nissan Altima is an important automotive maintenance task that ensures reliable starting and helps keep your vehicle on the road. Your Nissan Altima’s battery not only starts your vehicle, but also powers electrical components, including your vehicle’s radio, door locks, power windows, and seats when the engine isn’t running. Over time and due to extreme heat or cold, your car battery will experience wear and may degrade. It’s likely time to replace your car battery if you see signs of wear, such as corroded battery terminals, malfunctioning electrical components or accessories, a clicking sound when you turn the key in the ignition, slow cranking, or your vehicle not starting at all.

How To Replace the Battery 2015 Nissan Altima

Park on a level surface…and open the hood.
Use a 10mm wrench or ratchet and deep socket to loosen the negative battery cable… then detach it and move it to the side.
Do the same thing with the positive battery cable.
Use the same tool to loosen and remove the nuts on the battery hold-down… and to remove the short bolt securing its vertical bracket.
Once the battery cables are detached and the hold-down is removed, you can lift the old battery out.
Set your new battery in the tray.
Before installing your new battery, use battery terminal cleaner to remove the protective coating from the battery posts… and position the hold-down.
Use your 10mm wrench or socket to replace the nuts on either side… and the bolt securing the vertical bracket.
Reattach your positive battery cable first… then the negative.
Double-check the cables to make sure they’re secure.
And that’s it.
