[QUOTE="blazian87, post: 8486617, member: 574798"] Sealed requires more power and is a power hog compared to ported. You shouldn't really need an alt for that amount of power. It's kinda a waste of money unless you're planning to go 2k or more. A second battery would make sense. But I have a '14 Nissan Sentra too that I drive everyday and honestly the stock alt suxx and stock batt is horrible if you still have it. If you don't mind spending 270 on a alt and not planning to upgrade then I would say go for it. If you still running stock front battery, swap it out with a better one for sure. My stock battery died on me several times in the first 2 months I owned the car and it was brand new too! Whenever I turn on the A/C high, the voltage fluctuates alot too. I don't have anything aftermarket on it and it can barely even handle stock power. What a joke. [/QUOTE]
