Battery Panasonic or OEM Mazda

Panasonic Eneloops for me all the way. Bit of an initial investment, but they work so well they're all I buy now for anything that needs batteries. They even kept my Pix running for almost 10 days!

We had a 2016 lexus with original Panasonic battery. in 2022 had to be replaced, thats 6years. In Arizona batteries last about 2 years. so that was nice.

The OE Panasonic battery in my WRX died roughly 12 minutes after I bought the car. It was the original, so it was 9ish years old. Impressive.

My MY2007 S2000 also came with Panasonic battery. I replaced it with Walmart battery in last summer (2015), So it ran for 8 years.

My battery died last July at exactly 2,5 year mark. Mazda OEM battery is a cheap trash and so are the replacements too.

They use some crap Panasonic battery.

Just had to replaced my battery in my 2022 Mazda 3. I’ve always heard people say the batteries are crap in these cars. There’s no way you should be replacing a OEM battery yet. They use some crap Panasonic battery.

My 2014 CX-5 eats batteries and always has since i bought it brand new. I usually have to replace 1x a year\u2026 and I know it\u2019s coming about 45 days in advance because my bluetooth and USB chargers will suddenly stop working and that\u2019s how i know oh my battery will die soon!

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.

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