Quick answer
2021–2025 Nissan Rogue battery specifications
Check your manual| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| BCI group size | 47 (H5/LN2) |
| Battery type | EFB |
| AGM required | No |
| Location | Engine bay, driver side |
The T33 has idle stop-start, and the factory battery is an enhanced flooded (EFB) DIN-format Group 47/H5. Replace with an EFB or AGM rated for start-stop, a plain flooded battery will die early. Many owners fit a Group 48 (H6) AGM, which is a common upgrade that fits the tray. Weak 12V batteries on this generation cause ghost electrical faults and no-start warnings well before they fail outright.
