Battery OEM Mazda or Exide

Just last week I had to change the original battery, because I was abroad for almost three months and the car had not been started even a single time. I left it outside and it's been constant -1/-5 Celsius here. So naturally the battery went.

I have used exide battery+inverter for >10yrs and is still going good!

Amaron does last a whole lot longer than exide which just starts giving issues after warranty period. I had an issu in both my car and bike previously dues to exide. Switched to amaron once and did not give any issues till now.

Amaron all the way! I've always had to replace my exide batteries way before their actual expiry and their warranty claim is pathetic.

Am schimbat eu baterie după 2 ani. Aveam o localizare gps consumator continuu și nu mișcam mașina zilnic. Atat i-a trebuit, și vorbim de Exide, nu de Rombat.

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.
