Car has been dieing alot recently and...
I went out and got a new battery. The factory one says 550 CCA, thats cold cranking amps, for those of you who didnt know. The new one i got says 650 CCA ...This wont do any harm to my baby or the starter will it ??
EDIT: Also, does anyone know if Nissan makes a battery warmer for the maxima?? Or possibly an aftermarket one?

I put a 850 CCA battery in my old 1.9 saturn sc2. It didn't even have to crank. I put the key in the ignition and the battery started the car in less than 1/2 a second. Sometimes I would turn the engine off and the car could run on the battery alone for a few hours. It saved on gas.

The nissan OEM maxima battery is junk. Seems like the quality of certain nissan parts have really gone downhill, a battery should def last longer than 3 years. Mine died on me too recently, I replaced it with a red top optima so I shouldn't have to worry for many years. Optima batteries are dry cell technology that handle weather, vibration and overall abuse (from high drain stereos etc.) way better than a traditional battery. Not to mention last 2 to 3 times longer but they are expensive at @ $155 after tax and surcharges. It was a no brain-er for me. BTW CCA are just that higher the number the more power/ability it will have to start in the cold weather. Unless you live in a very cold climate you don't need a battery warmer.

Thats cold but think of it this way maybe. The price of a good battery such a redtop $140 (sams club). The battery warmer $70 shipped but you have to plug and unplug it. Which is easier or better option for you?
