Battery OEM Mazda or Duralast

I bought a Duralast Platinum H5 AGM. I have read several instances of Subaru of America reimbursement.

Recently installed the Duralast Platinum. One week in and everything is working like a new battery should be.

I drove over to Autozone and asked to borrow their battery/alternator scanner. CC amperage was way down, so just threw a new battery in there, and all is good. Ended up costing $230 even with tax, and $22 core charge credit for their Duralast with a 3 year warranty.

Just a heads up I had same issue with my Titan and it was the battery. I purchased a cheaper battery and 6 months in I get only a click when trying to start truck. Sometimes would start sometimes not. Then I bought the same battery again to see if that would fix the issue. This time it didn\u2019t start at all with the same type of battery, tested 100% charge and 100% battery life. So I said let me try buying a better quality battery just to see if anything happens, sure enough the truck started. It has kept starting ever since.

Stock OEM Mazda CX5 battery is weak AF. My 2019 battery died in Jan 2024 after coming back from Disney trip that lasted 7 days. Got one from Costco. Higher CCA for less than OEM from Mazda. Installed myself.

Drive a 2018 Nissan Rogue, about 80k miles. Have a Duralast Gold battery from Oct 2023, but live in central Texas where I hear batteries don't last as long.

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.

I’ve had my 3 for 4 years and I’m on my 3rd battery.

Incan confirm they suck… i have a 2023 mazda and i have gone through two batteries. The second one died on me this week. Both were mazda batteries
