The choice of the right battery for the Nissan Navara III (D40) from 2005-2014 depends on the engine specifications and power requirements. For models with a 2.5 dCi engine, both in single-drive and 4WD versions, lead-acid batteries with a capacity of 74-78 Ah and a starting current between 680-780 A are recommended. Example compatible models include Bosch S40 08, Exide EA770, and Varta E11. These batteries provide sufficient power, which is crucial for starting a diesel engine, especially in lower temperatures.
For the more powerful engine – the 3.0 dCi 4WD – batteries with an even higher capacity and starting power are recommended, ensuring efficient startup of the larger engine. For this version, batteries with a capacity of 95 Ah and a starting current from 720 to 830 A are ideal. Example models that meet these requirements include Bosch S40 29, Exide EA955, and Varta G8. It is important to note the non-standard terminal layout – in this version, a battery with the positive terminal on the left may be needed, which requires careful attention when purchasing.
Another aspect when choosing a battery for the Navara III is the type of mounting. In most vehicles, the B13 mount is commonly used; however, for the 3.0 dCi engine, non-standard mounts such as B01 or Korean B1 may be necessary. It is advisable to ensure that the selected battery fits the engine compartment and does not cause issues during installation.
A well-chosen battery provides trouble-free starting and smooth operation of the vehicle. Regularly checking the charge level and periodic replacement are the best ways to avoid unexpected issues, especially in intensively used off-road vehicles like the Navara III.
