What is the original battery used in the 2017 Nissan X-Trail?

2017 Nissan X-Trail's original battery is from Fengfan brand with a capacity of 62ah. Here is some extended information: 1. Usage cycle: Generally, the service life of automotive batteries is 2-3 years, while the original battery in new cars can last over 3 years. If the battery has been in use for nearly two years, frequent inspections should be conducted to detect issues early and resolve or replace them promptly, preventing sudden battery failure during operation which may cause losses. 2. Precautions: After parking and turning off the engine, try to avoid using in-car electrical appliances such as audio systems, lights, air conditioning, and cigarette lighters; If the car remains unused for an extended period, start the engine regularly to recharge the battery or disconnect the battery cables; Conduct regular maintenance checks by applying anti-rust lubricant to the battery terminals to prevent rust and oxidation.
I remember the original battery for the 2017 Nissan X-Trail was usually a Hitachi 12V 65Ah battery, with a cold cranking amperage (CCA) around 550A. This maintenance-free battery is designed for daily commuting and offers strong endurance. I've used a similar vehicle, and the original battery had a long lifespan, typically lasting 4 to 5 years on average. However, if the car is frequently driven in cold regions, the battery might wear out faster. Choosing OEM parts is mainly due to their high compatibility—you don’t have to worry about circuit issues during installation. If you're replacing it yourself, make sure to check if the positive and negative terminals align correctly. Don’t cheap out and buy counterfeit products, as they can damage the vehicle’s electronics. It’s recommended to regularly inspect the battery terminals for oxidation, as keeping them clean can extend the battery’s lifespan.
To be honest, after driving the X-Trail for so many years, the 2017 model's original battery mostly uses the GS Yuasa 65Ah model. I specifically checked the manual when I last replaced the battery. Don’t underestimate this—the original parts are quite durable, not like aftermarket batteries that tend to lose charge easily. If you’re replacing it yourself, be careful: first, turn off the engine, then disconnect the terminals to avoid electric shock. My neighbor bought a cheap battery, and now their car keeps losing charge, affecting the AC startup. Switching to a genuine original usually saves a lot of hassle. Sure, the original costs a bit more, but it’s worth it. Also, remember to check the battery water level every six months. If it’s low, top it up with distilled water—don’t use tap water directly, as it accelerates corrosion.
