A battery cap is missing on my 4.5 year old Infiniti.  (I bought it new.)  The dealer does not have them.  Infiniti does not have them.

The battery is not branded.  I cannot call the battery manufacturer and ask for a battery cap.

So, for want of a puny part, I have to purchase a new $150 battery.

I believe that if Infiniti installs "no name" batteries, they are responsible for them.  They should have battery caps in inventory.

I wrote to the President's office.  Their response was, "the battery is an assembly, and we do not maintain components in inventory."

I wonder how many other installed items are "components."

This is what planned obsolence is about.  Next time, I'll buy something else.  No more Infinitis.

In my experience, modern car batteries last about 8 years.  Aftermarket batteries tend to be less reliable.

Also, this car's battery has 6 caps, one for each cell.

A missing cap must be replaced so that dirt does not fall into the battery & facilitate corrosion.  Water loss is also an issue with a missing battery cap.

My point is that if this two-bit part is missing, I will have to purchase a new battery.  Manufacturers of premium automobiles should support their cars.

Car batteries haven't had caps since the maintenance free battery became standard sometime in the 80s.  What in God's name are you talking about?  Not to mention, a 5 year old battery is due to be replaced, anyway.
