Battery OEM Mazda or AC DELCO

170 for an ac delco (solid brand) battery with no charge there to replace.

2014 Mazda 3 with 322,000 kms, it's doing fine. I'm still on original engine, transmission and starter. I use it almost daily in traffic. The only problem is that the battery is slightly more costly than a standard one, which offsets the miniscule fuel savings you're getting from the system

I’ve had an AC Delco marine battery in my 67 Jeep that soldiered on for 12 years, and an “Autocraft” battery in my parent’s car that has finally given up after seven.

I bought my last battery from Menards. They sell AC Delco batteries. They come with a full non prorated 3 year warranty at least they did last year

I have this car. Most important is that below -12C, the gas engine stays on, and won't let you drive around on electric alone. That accounts for several months of driving in our winters. Secondly, even in temps below +10C, you have less access to the battery's energy, so your range drops even independently from the usual cold temp range losses.

My battery conked out at the normal time after 6 years. But it still didn’t give me any warning that it was dying. 2019 Mazda 3 here

My brother and I both have/had 6 speed 2015 Mazda3 (me the hatchback, him the sedan), and both of us had terrible issues with the Mazda brand batteries.

These are excellent cars but for some reason the batteries they use are bad. I had a 21 Mazda 3. The battery failed in 2023. They replaced it under warranty. The new battery lasted literally less than 6 months.

Mazda OEM batteries are trash. Always have been. 35 years with Mazda and we stocked a ton of them.

The only time I had issues with my battery was the original one when it was on its death bed. But I remember needing to clean the posts a few times and it would start right up. Never was left with a check engine light but when it acted up it would do weird things here and there.
