2018 Nissan Versa Battery Price
Understanding battery price for a 2018 Nissan Versa requires evaluating immediate cost and the long-term value a proper installation delivers. At Coggin Nissan on Atlantic we focus on total cost of ownership: the price you pay today and the expenses you avoid later. Dealer-installed, OEM-correct batteries are selected to meet Nissan’s charging and cranking specifications, which reduces the risk of premature failure and subsequent visits. While a lower upfront cost at some shops may seem attractive, savings shrink if the battery is incorrect, poorly installed, or lacks an adequate warranty.

We also offer service specials and clear pricing so you know what to expect. Because warranty-covered repairs must be completed at a certified dealership, choosing Coggin Nissan on Atlantic preserves protection and documentation that benefit resale value and long-term ownership. In short: our pricing balances affordability with reliability, delivering cost-effective peace of mind for drivers across Florida.
2018 Nissan Versa Battery Replacement
Battery replacement for a 2018 Nissan Versa at our dealership is a precise, efficient process designed to maximize reliability and safety. First, our technicians perform a full electrical diagnostic to confirm battery condition, measure cold-cranking amps, and test the charging system; that ensures the root cause is addressed rather than replacing a battery alone. Once the correct battery is selected—matched to Nissan specifications—we safely disconnect the old battery, inspect cables and terminals, clean corrosion, and secure the new unit using recommended torque settings and hold-downs. We also verify accessory memory retention and reset any vehicle systems per factory procedure, which prevents starting issues and protects sensitive electronics. Typical installations are completed in under an hour, but we never rush the job; thorough checks guarantee that your new battery will meet expectations. Choosing Coggin Nissan on Atlantic means work is done by factory-trained technicians with OEM tools and parts, and warranty-covered repairs remain valid because the service is performed at a certified dealership. This attention to detail reduces future service visits and delivers reliable starting performance in Florida’s varied driving conditions.
2018 Nissan Versa Battery Type
Selecting the correct battery type for a 2018 Nissan Versa is essential to ensure dependable starts and consistent electrical performance. The standard factory specification for this compact car is a 12-volt starting battery, typically a flooded lead-acid design that provides reliable cold-crank current for everyday driving. For some customers, an AGM (absorbed glass mat) upgrade is an attractive option because AGM batteries tolerate deeper discharge cycles, resist vibration better, and can improve longevity in demanding environments. However, AGM and other advanced chemistries must be matched carefully to the Versa’s charging system to prevent over- or under-charging, which can shorten battery life. Our service advisors at Coggin Nissan on Atlantic will review your driving patterns, climate exposure, and accessory use before recommending the best battery type. We only install batteries that meet Nissan’s specifications or approved upgrades and document the installation to preserve warranty eligibility. That disciplined approach reduces the chance of premature failure and ensures the new battery integrates seamlessly with the vehicle’s electronics and charging system, giving Florida drivers a reliable and hassle-free experience.
2018 Nissan Versa Battery Size
Battery size for a 2018 Nissan Versa is more than physical dimensions—it’s about proper fit, terminal orientation, and adequate cold-cranking amps (CCA) to meet engine start demands. Using the correct group size ensures the battery fits the tray, is secured by the factory hold-down, and places terminals where the factory wiring expects them. An incorrectly sized battery can lead to loose mounting, shorted terminals, or hard-to-reach connections that create safety risks and electrical problems. Our technicians verify the vehicle’s original equipment specifications and confirm group size and CCA before ordering or installing a new battery. If an upgraded option is chosen, we ensure the alternative meets or exceeds Nissan’s recommendations so performance remains predictable. Additionally, we inspect the battery tray, clamps, and cable terminals and address corrosion or damage during installation. This comprehensive approach ensures the installed battery not only fits correctly but performs reliably, reducing the likelihood of repeat visits and safeguarding battery warranty coverage when service is completed at a certified dealership like Coggin Nissan on Atlantic.
2018 Nissan Versa Battery Warranty
Warranty protection is a key benefit of having your 2018 Nissan Versa battery serviced at Coggin Nissan on Atlantic. Dealer-installed batteries come with specified warranty terms that cover manufacturing defects and, depending on the battery chosen, a prorated replacement period for early failures. It's important to note that to preserve warranty coverage, any repairs or warranty claims must be performed at a certified dealership—this ensures proper diagnostics, correct parts, and official documentation. Our service team handles warranty registrations, maintains service records, and explains the specific coverage for your battery so you know what is protected. Furthermore, professional installation by factory-trained technicians minimizes the chance of installation-related issues that can void coverage. We also provide a full inspection of the charging system during installation so that warranty claims are less likely due to unrelated electrical faults. Choosing Coggin Nissan on Atlantic gives you clear warranty terms, factory-level service, and the reassurance that warranty-backed repairs will be performed correctly and efficiently in Florida.
