Battery OEM Mazda or Energizer

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.

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

I have a snap-on torque wrench and duracell keeps doing that, I switched over to energizer and it stopped.

It has been in there since 2016 and still works fine.

Mine went at 32K...just crapped out on me one morning. Luckily I work part-time at a Tire/Battery Garage. Put in an Energizer group size 47 (as stated above)

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.

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.

Mazda OEM batteries known for underpowered and short shelf life. If you are in any kind of extreme climate for more than one season, there's a likely chance of failure.

162km at 42% battery is still kinda poor for 2025.
