Steps
Park on a level surface, switch off the engine and remove the key. Wait a few minutes so the battery and terminals are safe to touch.
Open the hood and locate the battery. On the 2021 and newer Rogue it sits under a cover on the driver side of the engine bay.
Test the battery with a battery tester or multimeter set to DC volts. A healthy charged battery reads about 12.6 volts with the engine off.
Loosen the negative black terminal clamp with a 10mm socket and pull it off the post. Tuck it aside so it cannot touch metal.
Loosen and remove the positive red terminal clamp. Then unbolt the hold-down bracket that keeps the battery in place.
Lift the old battery straight up and out. Batteries are heavy, so use both hands and keep your back straight.
Lower the new Group 48 AGM battery into the tray with the posts in the same position. Refit and tighten the hold-down bracket.
Connect the positive red clamp first and tighten it. Then connect the negative black clamp and tighten it.
Start the engine to confirm it cranks normally. Check that the battery light is off and the terminals are tight.
Tips and common mistakes
Always disconnect the negative terminal first and reconnect it last to avoid short circuits.
Never let a wrench bridge both battery posts, and remove rings and watches before you start.
Use an AGM charger if the new battery needs topping up, since AGM batteries can be damaged by standard chargers.
Old batteries are hazardous waste, so take the old one to a parts store or recycling centre.
Questions
What battery does a 2021 Nissan Rogue take?
It uses a Group size 48 AGM battery. Check your owner's manual or the label on the old battery to confirm before buying.
Do I need to reset anything after changing the battery?
You may need to reset the clock and radio presets. Some models relearn idle settings after a short drive, so let the engine run a few minutes.
How do I know if my battery is bad?
A reading well below 12.4 volts, slow cranking or a battery light points to a weak battery. Have it load tested if you are unsure.
