Odyssey agm65 battery you can buy this battery on the link I added or on Amazon with free shipping. This is a perfect swap for an OEM battery. Truly Plug and play. Learned this from someone on Reddit and decided to try it myself and it works perfectly.

Pros: perfect swap, works perfectly

Cons: no vent plug hole

Part number: AGM65

2014 Mazda 3 with 322,000 kms, it's doing fine. I'm still on original engine, transmission and starter. I use it almost daily in traffic. The only problem is that the battery is slightly more costly than a standard one, which offsets the miniscule fuel savings you're getting from the system

Pros: original engine, transmission, starter

Cons: battery is slightly more costly

Vehicle: Mazda 3

Mileage: 322000 km

I have this car. Most important is that below -12C, the gas engine stays on, and won't let you drive around on electric alone. That accounts for several months of driving in our winters. Secondly, even in temps below +10C, you have less access to the battery's energy, so your range drops even independently from the usual cold temp range losses.

Pros: preheat cabin from battery

Cons: gas engine stays on

Vehicle: Mazda

Mileage: 20000 km

Odyssey AGM. Super durable, sits well if you aren\u2019t riding much and far less likely to leak.

Pros: super durable, less likely leak

Cons: OEM lasted 3.5 years

Vehicle: Subaru Forester

Part number: 35

That said, do not buy another Subaru battery. They are way over priced and extreme garbage. You'll be replacing it again in a year to 2 years; they are notorious for having failed cells in just a couple years. If you want something that will last a long time buy an AGM from Odyssey.

Pros: last a long time

Cons: failed cells, over priced

Vehicle: Subaru

These are excellent cars but for some reason the batteries they use are bad. I had a 21 Mazda 3. The battery failed in 2023. They replaced it under warranty. The new battery lasted literally less than 6 months.

Cons: poor quality, short lifespan

Vehicle: Mazda 3
