Infiniti QX80 Car and Truck Battery

The battery in your Infiniti QX80 should last somewhere between 3 and 5 years. In order to get the longest life possible, be sure that you drive your vehicle regularly. Other factors that contribute to the length of your battery life are your car maintenance habits and the climate where you live. We all know that extreme cold can be tough on car batteries. But did you know that extreme heat is equally harsh? Our blog called "How to Protect Your Battery Against Extreme Weather  " can tell you more.

Another important way to prolong your battery's lifespan is to periodically check your battery terminals for corrosion. If you do find corrosion, you can clean it off using a battery terminal brush and car battery corrosion cleaner. And as we mentioned above, Batteries Plus also offers premium battery installation at our stores, during which an associate will apply anti-corrosion products to your battery.

The price of a new Infiniti battery will depend on the type of battery you choose. AGM batteries   cost more upfront than flooded batteries. If you pick up an AGM battery, however, there is a good chance you'll save money in the long run, since they last longer than flooded batteries. One thing to note: If your QX80 is currently running on an AGM battery, do not downgrade to a flooded battery, as that can damage your engine. That said, if you're currently running on a flooded battery, upgrading to AGM is okay.

When an Infiniti QX80 battery starts to fail, there is usually a drop off in performance. You'll probably notice that you have a harder time turning over the engine. Having to regularly jump-start   your car is another indication that your battery is bad. You may also notice that your headlights appear dimmer or that heated seats, power windows and other electronics don't work as well as they used to. Of course, you're always welcome to stop in at Batteries Plus for a free battery test. It takes less than 2 minutes and your peace of mind is worth it.
