Battery OEM Mazda or OEM Honda

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.

I\u2019ve jumpstarted my 2019 freightliner from a Honda Accord before.

When I experienced a sluggish start, it was the battery. In my experience, this car prefers Honda batteries. It’s been going strong for 3 years now. It’s also one of the more affordable batteries.

I still get my batteries from the dealership because they last the longest and cost the least, for some reason.

My battery conked out at the normal time after 6 years. But it still didn’t give me any warning that it was dying. 2019 Mazda 3 here

3 yrs on a Honda battery had me smh honestly.

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.

Mazda OEM batteries are trash. Always have been. 35 years with Mazda and we stocked a ton of them.

The only time I had issues with my battery was the original one when it was on its death bed. But I remember needing to clean the posts a few times and it would start right up. Never was left with a check engine light but when it acted up it would do weird things here and there.

I’ve had my 3 for 4 years and I’m on my 3rd battery.
