What causes a car battery to drain overnight?
This happens when something – a glovebox light, an amplifier, any electrical component – is pulling power from the battery when it shouldn’t. Since the alternator isn’t generating vehicle electricity, the problem component pulls from the battery, slowly draining it overnight until your vehicle won’t start.

How can I tell if my Nissan Leaf battery is full?
You must start with a known full charge battery tested after a full charge with a battery hydrometer to test the electrolyte in each cell at 1.25 or higher S.G. If battery is maintenance free cut off the 3 cell cover and inspect the electrolyte charge and level.

Why did the fuse blow out on my Nissan Frontier?
The fuse burned out as the result of jumping the truck after the battery died. The cables got crossed (not blaming anyone) and the fuse blew. After the battery was replaced, the truck still didn’t start. The fuse was the next thing to check. It was burned through and a trip to the parts store $3 and 30 minutes later the truck was back on the road.
How long does a Nissan Frontier battery last?
When the battery is newer it can last around 2 weeks but struggles to crank after that. But when I have an older battery, 2-3 days and I have to jump start it.

Glove compartment lights can do the same thing, particularly if you’ve got something in there that’s keeping the door from closing completely.
How long does it take a Nissan Frontier battery to drain?
