You can get an Deka AUX18L from batterymart.com for $159 shipped to your door. Deka is the OE manufacturer of the BMW battery for the i3. My original battery lasted 7 years, it’s a no-brainer.

Pros: lasted 7 years

Vehicle: BMW

Part number: AUX18L

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

Pros: original engine, transmission, starter

Cons: battery is slightly more costly

Vehicle: Mazda 3

Mileage: 322000 km

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.

Pros: preheat cabin from battery

Cons: gas engine stays on

Vehicle: Mazda

Mileage: 20000 km

I only use deka on my service rig. Usa made quality. Though listed at 540 CCA, MY Midtronics tester shows they output 650 - 750 CCA.. I easily get 7 years use in the field with these.

Pros: USA made quality, high CCA output, long lifespan

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.

Cons: poor quality, short lifespan

Vehicle: Mazda 3

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.

Cons: issues when dying, acted up, did weird things

Vehicle: Mazda
