The 2014 Nissan Altima typically uses a Group 35 12-volt battery for standard configurations. Always verify the exact size by checking the owner’s manual or the battery label, since some configurations or options may differ.
How to confirm the correct battery size
To ensure you buy the right replacement, use the following steps before purchasing a new battery.
- Check the owner’s manual or Nissan’s service information for the 2014 Altima’s recommended battery group size.
- Inspect the label on your current battery; the group size is usually printed there (for example, Group Size 35).
- Compare the battery’s physical dimensions, terminal layout, and fit to your engine bay to ensure it will fit and connect properly.
- Match or exceed OEM electrical specifications such as cold-cranking amps (CCA) and reserve capacity (RC) as applicable to your vehicle and trim.
- When in doubt, ask a parts counter or mechanic to confirm the correct Group Size using your VIN or model year information.
By following these steps, you can source a compatible replacement that matches the original Group Size 35 (or a functionally equivalent size) for your 2014 Altima.
Notes for trims and aftermarket options
Some higher-load configurations or regional variations may lead to alternatives in battery sizing. Always verify the exact OEM spec for your vehicle and consider a battery with similar or better CCA and RC to ensure reliable starting in your climate.
Summary
For a 2014 Nissan Altima, the standard replacement battery size is generally Group 35. Verify this with the owner’s manual or the battery label, and ensure the replacement meets or exceeds OEM electrical specifications and fits in the battery tray. If you’re unsure, consult a Nissan dealer or trusted auto parts retailer with your vehicle VIN.
