Replacement specifics: replacements follow exact OEM specifications (same kWh rating and pack architecture) to preserve vehicle balance, range, and manufacturer warranty.
Certified service importance: installation, battery management system calibration, and software updates must be completed at a certified dealership to ensure proper function and warranty eligibility.

2017 Nissan LEAF Battery Price

Understanding battery pricing for a 2017 Nissan LEAF requires seeing beyond the sticker number to the total value delivered when you choose certified dealer service. A genuine OEM battery pack — typically 30 kWh for this model year — represents a significant investment, but the right replacement protects range, performance, and resale value. At Coggin Nissan at the Avenues, we price replacements competitively and transparently. That means you benefit from immediate savings on diagnostic accuracy, correct part matching, and labor performed by factory-trained technicians who follow Nissan procedures. Over time, those advantages translate into lower ownership costs: an accurately installed OEM pack sustains expected MPGe ratings, avoids premature wear on electric drivetrain components, and reduces the chance of recurring repairs that can occur after improper installations. We also apply rigorous post-installation testing and software calibration so range estimates and charging behavior meet factory standards. When you compare long-term expense, dealer-installed batteries often cost less than the total of repeated fixes and downtime encountered with non-certified alternatives. For an exact price, our service team will provide a detailed estimate based on the vehicle’s condition, available inventory, and any applicable warranty or special offers.

2017 Nissan LEAF Battery Replacement

Replacing a 2017 Nissan LEAF battery is a precise technical procedure that benefits greatly from dealership-level resources and experience. At Coggin Nissan at the Avenues our technicians are factory-trained to handle the high-voltage systems, battery-management electronics, and software calibration unique to the LEAF. The replacement process begins with a thorough diagnostic to confirm battery capacity loss and to identify any related issues that might affect performance. If replacement is required, we install OEM components matched to the vehicle’s specifications, perform all recommended mechanical and electrical safety procedures, and complete the mandatory software updates that ensure the vehicle’s systems communicate correctly with the new pack. This attention to detail reduces the likelihood of post-repair issues and preserves manufacturer warranty coverage. Because we manage parts sourcing directly, we can often complete replacements in a single business day when inventory allows; when additional time is needed, we communicate timelines and options clearly. Choosing dealership replacement minimizes future repair risk, protects the vehicle’s efficiency and range, and provides documented service records that support resale value and warranty claims.

2017 Nissan LEAF Battery Type

The 2017 Nissan LEAF uses a lithium-ion battery pack, a technology chosen for its balance of energy density, reliability, and lifecycle performance. Lithium-ion chemistry supports the LEAF’s practical range and charging characteristics, but the pack’s long-term health depends on correct diagnostics, charging practices, and certified maintenance. At Coggin Nissan at the Avenues we specialize in lithium-ion pack care: our technicians use OEM diagnostic tools to measure capacity, internal resistance, and state-of-health so you get an accurate assessment rather than a guess. Proper pack handling and installation require special safety protocols and calibrated tools—procedures our dealership performs daily—ensuring cells and battery management systems function together as designed. We also provide guidance on best charging practices to maximize lifespan, such as avoiding prolonged high-voltage charging when unnecessary and maintaining moderate state-of-charge levels during storage. Because battery chemistry affects warranty eligibility and future performance, any repairs or replacements covered by manufacturer warranty must be performed at a certified dealership; that protects your rights under the warranty and ensures that the battery management software is correctly updated after service.

2017 Nissan LEAF Battery Size

The nominal battery size for many 2017 Nissan LEAF models is a 30 kWh pack, sized to balance weight and range for everyday driving. Battery size matters because it directly influences EPA-rated range, charging duration, and how the vehicle performs under load—such as during highway driving or when using climate control in extreme temperatures. At Coggin Nissan at the Avenues we verify the actual usable capacity of your pack through precise testing, since manufacturing tolerances and gradual degradation can change usable range over time. When a battery requires replacement, we match the OEM kWh specification to maintain the vehicle’s expected performance and to support proper operation of the battery management system. Accurate sizing and installation are essential: an incorrect or substandard pack can reduce range, accelerate wear on other components, and jeopardize warranty coverage. Our dealership approach includes thorough pre-replacement inspection, OEM parts, factory-standard installation, and post-replacement verification to make sure the 30 kWh or equivalent pack delivers the performance you expect for years to come.

2017 Nissan LEAF Battery Warranty

Battery warranty considerations are central to responsible ownership of a 2017 Nissan LEAF. Nissan’s factory-backed coverage for traction batteries typically includes protections against defects and significant capacity loss for a defined period and mileage, and that coverage requires diagnosis and repairs to be completed at an authorized dealership to remain valid. At Coggin Nissan at the Avenues we help owners understand the fine print: what the warranty covers, how capacity thresholds are measured, and what documentation is needed for a claim. If a battery issue falls under warranty, having the work performed at our certified service center preserves your rights and avoids denied claims that can occur after non-certified repairs. Beyond warranty work, we also offer service options that include OEM parts, structured testing, and recommended maintenance to prolong pack life. Relying on certified technicians prevents improper installations or programming that can void coverage, and it provides a clear service record that benefits resale and ongoing support. When warranty work is required, our team coordinates with manufacturer channels to streamline approval and ensure you receive the full protection intended by Nissan.
