AGM vs Flooded — Which Does This Vehicle Need?

The 2017 Nissan Rogue typically came from the factory with a standard flooded lead-acid battery. This type of battery is perfectly adequate for the vehicle's electrical demands. However, an Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) battery is a popular upgrade choice for several reasons:

• Increased Durability: AGM batteries are more resistant to vibration and impacts, making them a good choice if you frequently drive on rough roads.
• Longer Lifespan: While more expensive upfront, AGM batteries generally last longer than their flooded counterparts.
• Better Performance in Extreme Temperatures: They tend to perform better in both very hot and very cold conditions.
• Maintenance-Free: AGM batteries are sealed and require no maintenance, unlike flooded batteries that may need occasional topping off with distilled water.
• Deep Cycle Capabilities: If you frequently use accessories with the engine off, an AGM battery is better suited for handling deeper discharges without damage.

While an AGM battery offers advantages, it's not strictly 'needed' for a 2017 Nissan Rogue. A high-quality flooded battery will serve you well. If your budget allows and you want the benefits of an AGM, it's a worthwhile investment.

Post-Installation Relearn / Reset Procedure

After replacing the battery in your 2017 Nissan Rogue, you may experience some minor issues or need to perform a few simple resets. This is because disconnecting the battery can cause the vehicle's computer (ECM) to lose some of its learned parameters. Here's what you might encounter and how to address it:

1. Idle Relearn: The engine might idle roughly or rev slightly higher than usual. To relearn the idle, drive the vehicle normally for a few miles, including some freeway and stop-and-go driving. The ECM will re-adapt over time.
2. Window Auto Up/Down Function: The automatic up/down function for your power windows might not work. To reset this: Roll the window all the way down, then hold the switch in the 'up' position continuously until the window is fully closed and continue to hold the switch for a few extra seconds. Repeat for all windows.
3. Radio Presets and Clock: You will lose your radio station presets and the clock will need to be reset. Refer to your owner's manual for specific instructions on how to do this for your infotainment system.
4. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): The TPMS light may illuminate temporarily. This usually resolves itself after driving a short distance (10-20 minutes) at speeds over 25 mph. If it remains on, check your tire pressures manually and re-inflate to the correct PSI.
5. Steering Angle Sensor: Some vehicles may require a steering angle sensor reset if traction control or stability control lights come on. This often involves turning the steering wheel all the way to the left, then all the way to the right, and then back to the center. Drive the vehicle straight for a short distance.
