Battery OEM Mazda or Duracell

I got a Duracell at Sam's Club for around $150, no prorating on 3 year warranty if it goes. Just a new battery.

The Mazda OEM battery only lasts 3 years it seems. I have a 2021 and just changed the battery for similar reasons. It still started with no issues but it was pretty weak and was immediately noticeable after installing the new one. If you can afford it, the extra money for an AGM is worth it.

Don't get cheap ones!

Duracell is your only man

Still running on its original battery that came with the car.

Not near Utah but here on the west coast I use Powersonic or Genesis or Yuasa with good luck. For some reason all the Duracells I have purchased over the years fail about a year out of install.

OEM batteries are crap, replace it with something better, preferably an EFB one. Also, a healthy battery should withstand that time and even more, so yours was definitely at its end.

My car was sitting in parking lot with engine OFF and ignition ON - Android Auto was working and headlights/interior lights -> after about 15min music stops playing and I thought okay it's energy saver mode let me start engine.

But NOPE, there were some error messages, and engine couldn't start - battery was DEAD, I read battery are shit on new Mazdas and didn't want to deal with it myself and get it towed because of warranty.

I'm not putting a Duracell in my car, they can't even make a double A that doesn't leak within the year.

Mazda uses cheap batteries, I have had to swap them on my last two CX5s

My cx30’s 2023 battery died as I was coming to a stop sign. As I was rolling to the stop sign my breaks failed hit the car Infront of me and the could not get my car to start.
