HassanZ Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Hi all, I'm planning on purchasing a 'Premium' Exide battery (part no. EA654) with the 4 year warranty. Are these okay to use in the Zed or should I only use Nissan OEM batteries? Many thanks for your help guys Hassan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Should be ok with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HassanZ Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Perfect! Thanks Is the battery voltage dash gauge accurate? What voltage is it meant to read when the battery is okay and below what voltage should it show if the battery is on it's way out? Thanks, Hassan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I just bought a heavy duty exide for my navara a few hours ago. Shipped already too!!!! The battery should charge at around 14.4V. The voltage won't really drop it's the current thats at work when starting a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 The dial doesn't have accurate marking so is hard to tell. Get a multimeter and put it on v. Check what the battery is running new batteries are 12.8-12.6 anything lower is considering on it's way out but should be ok till they die Then get someone to turn the car on whilst it's cranking get a voltage reading then aswell. Perfect! Thanks Is the battery voltage dash gauge accurate? What voltage is it meant to read when the battery is okay and below what voltage should it show if the battery is on it's way out?

HassanZ Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 I purchased a 'Premium' Exide battery with a 4 year warranty. The model number is: EA654. Now I need advice on how to replace the battery? Never done one before... How do i prevent the electrics going haywire, alarm sounding and stereo resetting?

HassanZ Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Thanks all for your advice (special thanks to Mitz at CS for providing help over the phone today although he was busy). I finally had enough courage to do it myself! after fitting the battery and firing her up, I'm sure it sounded slightly different when she roared to life? Maybe it's just placebo?

You sometimes get a different noise if you are getting undercurrent, there is a box in the engine to stop this. You've maybe overloaded the Capacitive Undercurrent Neutraliser Transducer box if you didn't wear rubber gloves to fit the battery. Did you wear rubber gloves to fit it?
