Battery OEM Mazda or Energizer

2014 Mazda 3, about 65k km.\n\n2nd battery only because I left the lights on one time a few years ago and needed a replacement. Nil problems otherwise.

2018 Mazda 6 is going fine.\n\nProbably due for a battery soon as preventative maintenance.

I've noticed the 20xx Energizer series seem to be made in Japan. Refreshing since they don't stink like the Ikea MIC ones.

I just ordered the energizer lithium fob battery, will see if it lasts longer than the regular energizer which in my case was 3 years

My 2025 CX-30 battery is already showing signs of dying but I bought the car in April but then had surgery in June and only went back to work today so it sat for long periods and I do leave my dash cam in parking mode. It might come back some after being driven more or it might not.

The OEM batteries are shit. It died around the two-year mark.

My battery died last July at exactly 2,5 year mark. Mazda OEM battery is a cheap trash and so are the replacements too.

It's not only Energizer, its also whatever cheap brand I have. Might be a law, I think.

I do hate them, either cutting your fingers or have the cell fly out like a chemical saucer.

My 2014 CX-5 eats batteries and always has since i bought it brand new. I usually have to replace 1x a year\u2026 and I know it\u2019s coming about 45 days in advance because my bluetooth and USB chargers will suddenly stop working and that\u2019s how i know oh my battery will die soon!

I have the same problem with my Mazada 3. Changed the battery while still under warranty and still does it. I don't leave anything pluggeded in and it still dies overnight. I purchased a battery tender and have to hook it up every night or get a boost in the morning.
