When a full replacement is needed, Coggin Nissan on Atlantic completes the work with factory-trained technicians who follow Nissan procedures for high-voltage safety, torque specifications, and battery management system programming. This ensures the new or remanufactured pack performs as intended and maintains vehicle systems that depend on accurate state-of-charge and thermal management.

Conducting these checks at Coggin Nissan on Atlantic means the work is performed with OEM diagnostic tools and updated firmware that independent shops may not have access to.
