Battery OEM Mazda or Exide

IMHO, Exide works well till the last second and then dies off without any symptoms. Amaron shows alot of symptoms like extra cranking and lights dim for interior and dash lights when it's nearing its demise. Hence I moved to amaron. So should you.

After reading all replies and knowing the price of the dealers option, I took my chance with a Exide battery AGM 12-23, it was a perfect fit.

I don't think they are good at inverters, but I have used their battery for ups which lasted 4 years, now i am using the second one which completed one year

VW lists 3 batteries, 1 AGM (68 Ah, Varta) and 2 flooded (72 Ah, Varta and 59 Ah, Exide) that may be used.

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.

installed new Exide EK950 AGM 95AH to replace same model been there 3years. No change, and also former battery checks to be in nearly new condition still with measured 90AH capacity from fully charged to 10,5v 9hours with 10Amp load.

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.

Exide Battery (demolished)

Even then the Mazda oem battery is trash. My battery only last me 15k miles, and I bought it new.

I Have had the Mazda CX60 Azumi Tukami G40 Turbo 6cl petrol engine for 12 months now and have had this back at the dealership several times. I believe I have the lemon of the bunch.

Continual Istop issues, it has needed reprogramming twice. The battery has failed testing and needed replacing.
