Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a battery important for a 2012 Nissan 370Z?

How much does a battery cost for a 2012 Nissan 370Z?

• Typical price range: OEM-quality 12-volt replacement batteries for a 2012 Nissan 370Z generally range based on battery type and CCA (cold cranking amps); dealer pricing is competitive and often less than independent shops when factoring parts, labor, and included diagnostics.
• Immediate savings: Coggin Nissan at the Avenues frequently offers package pricing that includes installation, system testing, and disposal of the old battery for a clearer, lower upfront cost.
