Owners of other Nissan, Infiniti or related Renault vehicles such as the Rogue, X-Trail, Note, Versa, Rogue Sport / Qashqai, Maxima, Sentra, Juke, Kicks, Murano, Pathfinder, Armada, Frontier, Titan, Quest, NV200, Q50, Q60, QX50, QX60 and QX80 may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful.

The OEM (original equipment manufacturer) battery "Group Size" is H5 which is also known as 47 and the Nissan / Renault part number is 24410 6CA0A (also known as 24410-6CA0A or 263001240337D).

Two compatible replacement aftermarket 12V automotive batteries with their part numbers are as follows: Bosch S6-47 and Deka 9A47 AGM.

The tools needed to replace the 12V car battery include a 10mm socket with a 1/4" drive ratchet and a 13mm socket with an extension bar and a 3/8" drive ratchet from a standard socket set.

The first two steps are to open the hood and move to the right (driver) side of the engine bay.

The 12V battery is located behind the engine air filter housing, to the left of the shock tower and to the right of the brake fluid reservoir.

I highly recommend wearing safety glasses and protective gloves while working with the 12V battery!

First, loosen the nut on the "-" negative terminal by turning it counterclockwise with a 10mm socket and a 1/4" drive ratchet.

Then pull the negative terminal off the "-" battery post. Wrap it in a small towel and tuck it away on the side of the battery to help prevent accidental electrical contact.

Then flip open the red plastic cover on the "+" positive terminal.

Pull the positive terminal off the "+" battery post. Flip the plastic cover closed and tuck the terminal away on the left side of the battery.

Locate the black metal hold down clamp on the right (driver) side of the battery tray.

(You can also use a long Torx screwdriver to remove it. I didn't check the size. It appears to be Torx T30.)

Attach the 13mm socket to a long extension bar and a 3/8" drive ratchet.

Loosen the bolt by turning it in the counterclockwise direction.

Set the hold down clamp aside in a safe place.

Try to avoid dropping or tipping over the old battery to prevent from having acid leak out.

The OEM battery was marked with the part number 24410 6CA0A.

(Renault Nissan 12V - L2 EFB 60Ah 510A (EN) Enhanced Flooded Battery Special Technology 24410 6CA0A
Part Number 263001240337D  For Nissan By Clarios LLC Milwaukee WI 53209.)

Be sure to bring the old battery with you to the auto parts store, Walmart or Costco to avoid having to pay a refundable "core", "deposit", "disposal" or "recycling" fee.

Clean off any debris from the plastic tray so that the new battery will rest evenly on it.

The "+" positive post should be situated closer to the front of the engine bay and the "-" negative battery post should be closer to the windshield.

Slide the battery over to the left (passenger) side to make sure the bolt hole for the hold down clamp is accessible.

Make sure the new battery can not be rocked or moved on the tray. If the battery can be moved, tighten the hold down clamp an extra turn or two in the clockwise direction.

Lower the fabric battery heat shield box back down into place.

If you've had a problem with corrosion (blue, white or green powder) building up on the terminals, consider installing some felt anti-corrosion washers over the battery posts.

I also like using the CRC Battery Cleaner spray to clean my terminals and then protect them with the Mission Automotive corrosion preventative gel.

First, push the positive terminal on to the "+" battery post.

Try to avoid over tightening the terminal nut to prevent from cracking the battery post which may lead to an acid leak.

Close the red plastic cover over the positive terminal.

Then push the negative terminal over the "-" battery post.

Double check that the two terminals are securely tightened.

Close the top flap of the heat shield box and secure it with the Velcro strip.

The multimeter should read over 12V to about 12.6V when the engine is off to indicate that the battery is charged.

When the engine is running the multimeter should read any where from about 13 volts to 14 volts to indicate that the alternator is charging the battery.

Be sure to write down the battery change in your vehicle's service records.
