Battery Information
The Murano HYBRID utilizes two batteries in order to supply both high and low voltage.
2-1.1 12-Volt Battery • The Murano HYBRID contains a conventional lead-acid12-volt battery.
• The 12-volt battery is located in the front of the vehicle on the left side of the engine compartment.
• The 12-volt battery is charged by the high-voltage battery through the DC/DC converter. : Vehicle front
2-1.2
High-voltage Battery
• The Murano HYBRID contains a high-voltage battery.
• The high-voltage battery is mounted under the center console and enclosed in a metal case.
• The high-voltage battery stores approximately 144 volts DC.
• A vent hose is provided to exhaust gasses outside the vehicle, if necessary.
• Air for battery cooling is drawn in from the front of the center console, under the instrument panel, and is vented
into the RH side B-pillar with the use of a fan located under
the passenger seat.
The high-voltage battery supplies power to the following: • High-voltage harnesses
• DC/DC converter
• Traction motor inverter
• Traction motor AAYIA0465ZZ
