I personally use Samsung 50S and RS50. The RS50 or 50XG are the optimal choice in my opinion.

Pros: optimal choice

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 do exactly the same tasks and mine don't drain that horribly. For me the battery drains quickly while watching movies and gaming only.

Pros: battery drains quickly

Cons: drains horribly

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

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.

Cons: issues when dying, acted up, did weird things

Vehicle: Mazda
