    Its the smart alternator. My 2018 was having exact same issue. Unplugged that thing and problem solved

    I'm having the same issue, after two batteries and two alternators a week later stop to gas up, when to start and battery was low again. Start right up with a jump start

      Yes, you have a battery drain or draw. You will need to run the battery draw test to determine which component is staying powered up pulling current from the battery. I can help you here 👉🏻 justanswer.9pctbx.net/c/361369/1342681/9320

    De-pinning the smart charging wire is part of the answer. The dealer has to change the programming so that the battery doesn't drain while sitting. This is a known factory defect. Dealer will charge about $165 to reprogram system and $15 to de-pin the smart charging wire if you want them to do it. Any Nissan dealer will know exactly what you're talking about if you ask them.

    My 2017 Armada has this issue.
    Is this video (linked) the same thing to unplug?
    Mine is at the mechanic now.
    Definitely one of the Armada mysteries for this specific model.
    Random times the battery will be drained and not start. No specific pattern. Maybe between errands maybe first thing in the morning. If unplugging this thing from the video doesn’t hurt the function of the car and fix the problem I may try it…but if it’s functional and could cause other issues I don’t want to unplug it. This issue has been an elusive one.

      Hello and thank you for the comment my friend. Yes, unfortunately electrical problems can be difficult to diagnose and fix at times. However, any qualified mechanic should be able to trace down the root cause and determine what is causing the battery to drain. This is done by doing a simple battery draw test.
