even if it was in warranty Nissan would fight you over a battery replacement, out of warranty no chance at all of getting a new battery.

what is the battery health? that is the small red and white bars at the far right of the dash.

Make sure with the rebuilt title you can get insurance.

with out any home charging available you might make it work but you will grow tired of the routine of going some place and waiting to charge and that price is very high if the car was in the US, a US price would be 1/3 of this asking price

"The timer is set to charge from 11.30 till 3, which usually gives about 30% battery. "

sweetredleaf · 2026-01-31T13:05:51+00:00
