Every other year I'm purchasing a new battery because the one I have gets drained. This is crazy. I've never had to get so many batteries for a flipin car before.

Altima

  • Automatic transmission
  • 71,158 miles

Battery drained, when car sits for two to three days.

Jump starts immediately, and starts without jumping again.

Nissan mechanic, says my wife has been leaving the ACC button on.

She is very aware of the acc button when turning off the engine.

This problem keeps occurring, for the seventh time now.
