Battery OEM Mazda or Duracell
The entire suspension was recently replaced with German parts, along with a full upgrade of rotors and low-dust ceramic pads on all corners and a new Duracell battery a few months ago.
I replaced mine with a Duracell branded battery from Batteries Plus. Direct fit, vent tubes connected right up.
Threw a Duracell 12v in my second gen Honda Insight, and it did fine for the six additional months I had the car.
I got an already fully charged duracell battery at my local Batteries and Bulbs location in California. Works like a charm just needed to get top posts for it to work in the i3.
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.
I bought the battery last summer, drove the car around for about a month no problems.
I put the car away for autumn/winter.
Took it to auto parts store last night, checked in in the morning.
Employee brought it out, said it needed more time and put it back on "fast charger".
I come back 4hours later and they're telling me it exploded on the charger??
the stock battery only lasted 3 years. My VW prior lasted 7 on the OEM battery.
Battery died less than 12000 miles. Apparently Mazda is using cheap batteries, as this seems to be a common issue. But I still see others complain about the same thing.
first issue I had was the battery at around 2000 miles, it was replaced under warranty.
