Battery OEM Chevrolet or OEM Mazda

Have a Chevy Volt. The battery is only good for 22-40 miles depending on outside temp. It gets plugged in at night and costs $14-18 a month. For the past 3 years we have used less then 25 gallons of gas.

Not many cons. The car is much better on electricity than when the gas motor has to kick in. Much quieter and has a bit more throttle response so I don't like it when the battery runs out.

2014 Mazda 3, about 65k km.\n\n2nd battery only because I left the lights on one time a few years ago and needed a replacement. Nil problems otherwise.

2018 Mazda 6 is going fine.\n\nProbably due for a battery soon as preventative maintenance.

The OEM batteries are shit. It died around the two-year mark.

My battery died last July at exactly 2,5 year mark. Mazda OEM battery is a cheap trash and so are the replacements too.

My 2014 CX-5 eats batteries and always has since i bought it brand new. I usually have to replace 1x a year\u2026 and I know it\u2019s coming about 45 days in advance because my bluetooth and USB chargers will suddenly stop working and that\u2019s how i know oh my battery will die soon!

I have the same problem with my Mazada 3. Changed the battery while still under warranty and still does it. I don't leave anything pluggeded in and it still dies overnight. I purchased a battery tender and have to hook it up every night or get a boost in the morning.

Even then the Mazda oem battery is trash. My battery only last me 15k miles, and I bought it new.

I Have had the Mazda CX60 Azumi Tukami G40 Turbo 6cl petrol engine for 12 months now and have had this back at the dealership several times. I believe I have the lemon of the bunch.

Continual Istop issues, it has needed reprogramming twice. The battery has failed testing and needed replacing.

the stock battery only lasted 3 years. My VW prior lasted 7 on the OEM battery.
