Battery OEM Mazda or AC DELCO

Currently I have ac delco batteries in every car I own. I work at a Cadillac dealership though so I get good prices on them and they're good batteries.

The old battery I had in mine was an AC Delco, model ACD41-60 (I'm guessing size 41, 60-month warranty). Sticker said 685 CCA, 330 for charge. It's raining outside right now and I don't have any pictures of the sticker for my current one. The Delco battery finally died after being 8 years old. It showed signs of aging and being weak for about 3 months before that, and then one of the cells shorted out, so it had about a 5-amp capacity.

In our shop we have found that the professional line of AC-Delco batteries seem to last the longest. I believe if you check the AC-Delco was what was installed at the factory in your Suzuki, and that lasted 7 years.

I'm a big fan of AC Delco batteries. Every one I've had has outlived the cars I've put them in.

Saudi made AC delco batteries lack quality. Amaron and Varta are much better.

Man do yourself a favour and get either amaron or solite. Both lasted me almost 3 years. You're lucky that AC delco lasted you almost 2 years, the ones I get barely lasts a year, and that's with warranty replacement .

I’m on my 3rd battery since Nov 2021. Every time it has lasted me 1 year and 3-4 months. Not even 2 years.

I don’t have a parasitic drain. I don’t use AC a lot. I don’t jumpstart cars with it. There is no excessive load on it. Yet, they all lasted less than 2 years.

Amaron best, 2nd is solite.

Worst was ac delco. Always gave me 1 year max.

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

Battery died less than 12000 miles. Apparently Mazda is using cheap batteries, as this seems to be a common issue. But I still see others complain about the same thing.
