The 2010 Nissan Murano typically uses a standard 12-volt car battery. The most common replacement size for this model is Group 24F, with cold-cranking amps (CCA) typically in the mid-600s to around 700, but you should verify the exact size on your vehicle’s battery label or in the owner's manual.
How to confirm the exact battery size for your Murano
To ensure you buy the correct battery for your specific vehicle, use these verification steps.
- Look at the current battery label for the “Group Size” or look for a stamped group size on the battery case (e.g., 24F, 24, 35, etc.).
- Check the owner’s manual or the maintenance specifications section for the recommended battery group size and CCA rating.
- Inspect the battery in your Murano: the group size is often printed on a label near the terminals or molded into the case.
- If you’re shopping online or at a parts store, have your VIN handy and confirm the replacement battery is compatible with the 2010 Murano’s electrical system.
Verifying these details before purchase helps avoid fitment issues and ensures proper starting performance in your climate.
Replacement considerations and tips
Beyond the group size, consider these factors to choose a battery that suits your Murano and local conditions.
- Battery chemistry: most Murano replacements are standard flooded lead-acid; some owners opt for AGM for enhanced durability and stability in extreme temperatures.
- CCA and RC targets: select a battery with at least the OEM-equivalent CCA (often around 650–750 CCA for the Murano) and a healthy reserve capacity for reliability in cold weather or frequent short trips.
- Physical fit and terminal layout: ensure the battery’s dimensions and terminal positions match your engine bay and the vehicle’s cable routing.
- Warranty: check duration (common ranges are 2–3 years, with pro-rated options) and whether it covers defects or premature failure.
Choosing the right battery is not only about size; it’s about fit, reliability, and long-term performance in your local climate and driving habits.
Where to buy or replace
Licensed automotive parts stores, big-box retailers, and Nissan service centers typically stock the appropriate Group 24F batteries for the 2010 Murano. If you’re unsure, ask for a hand in confirming the exact group size for your specific VIN.
